Nice and sharp with good color. I wish you had the opportunity to get a much lower angle.

Hi Jerry,

My thoughts largely mirror Ed's, but would like to add that I think you handled the bright (nearly harsh) light well. Don't know if this is FF or a crop, but if it's possible I'd re-frame with the elk slightly higher and more to the left in the final frame (sort of coming in and down through the frame).

Cheers and thanks for sharing this one...

Brad

Thanks guys. This was pretty much full frame. I was close to the minimum limit of the Canon 200-400 @ 212mm.
