Taken a few years ago, I liked how the elk looked in front of the massive Rockies.

Hi John :wavey: Love the scenery, and agree the subject is small. but with my weak eyesight, I wish the elk was a bit bigger :smile:

You definitely need to view the large version to see the elk! A nice shot and obviously appropriate for the theme, John! The only thing I can mention is that there are multiple dirty sensor spots in the sky. They're not real obvious but definitely caught my eye in the large version.

It's a fine scene, John and the elk adds a great sense of scale, once I found it. (Looks to me like it could have been taken off the old Fall River road to the pass.) I do wish the elk stood out better...might be worth some local dodging around the elk to give it a little more attention.

The large version looks great, John ! Don't think you could have composed this better, with the elk sat firmly in the sweep of the hills.
