One More Elk

I hope everyone is not tired of elk photos. Being from Georgia I don't get much of a chance to photograph them.
I would like to know how everyone feels about this crop. I had to crop out some FG and I personally liked the slight pano and leaving some of the background trees.
All comments welcome.

I like the crop very much as presented, Bruce! Great pose too, and the trees do add... :smile:

I don't think I can get tired of photo's of such impressive animals Bruce. :smile: This is a solid photo with the uncluttered green BG and yellowish FG isolating the subject well. The good and interesting body pose as well as the catch light in the eye all help.

Nice bull in a nice setting Bruce. The bit of extra decoration on the antlers is a definite plus. I'm sure this photo looks better the larger you see it. I'm not tired of elk photos... :wink:
