This bull elk is from a trip to Yellowstone a few years back. It was taken during the fall rut. Please let me know what you think.

Andrew,

very nice pose, and framing. The light is great as well. I just miss some catchlight in the eye, which is not visible...

Well composed Andrew,
I like the POV of this elk as it seems to be calling out..
Always a plus when they're doing something
