Comments
5 commentsNot being familiar at all with the pelt of a bull elk, I am wondering about the whiteness from its shoulders back. I also wonder if you had room on the left or right, and what your reason for cropping as you did was. I do reall like the portrait/bust and the very impressive rack on this gentleman!
Jerry: very good profile shot of the bull. I like the simplicity and tonality of the background which makes the bull standout. The breath is a big plus. Curious as to why you chose the crop. Richard
Phil/Richard,
Thanks guys for the comments. The crop chose me. This was full frame. He was that close. I thought the other aspects outweighed the ackward crop.
Jerry,
I would have prefered some more room on right, but breath and pose are great
Cool bull. I would tweak with some boost in yellows or overall added warmth. Good eye and hint of breath are key elements, I think.
