Mischief

I watched these two elk calves playing in the Madison River for quite a while. I loved the look on the front calve's face and the eye seeming to look over his shoulder at his brother. He was just waiting for his brother to start something, which he did shortly after this image was taken.

Processed with Photoshop CS3, NeatImage and LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry,
This is one of those "if only" shots without the obscuring of the head it would be much better. I love the expression of the elk. :toast: :toast:

Nice detail, color and light on the front elk. I also think that if the face of the second elk were plainly visible the shot would have been much better.
