I remembering setting up to capture this beautiful sunset, when all of a sudden, an elk strolls by and turns around. Talk about luck!

Talk about making good use of an opportunity too!! Well done. The sky literally seems to be on fire, making this very dramatic. The shape of the elk really adds to the image... all in all it makes me think of the more dramatic parts of Bambi :wink:

Great shot Mahesh, pretty much perfect framing and the elk adds a balance on the left of frame which really enhances the picture.

PS love all your work on your web site....... hope that you get a meal soon!

Just Amazing image Mahesh :toast: Double borders with comlpementary color seem to interfere a bit with my focus on the image (my personal taste).

A Candidate for a large print and mount. Thanks for sharing.

Both the sunset and the silhouette seperately are awesome-together they are gorgeous.
