The herd
That prays together stays together...I think it shows just how socked in the fog we were at Cataloochee.

Hi Leanne,

I really like seeing the elk as a part of the bigger landscape. The heavy fog softens the church in the background and keeps the focus on the elk... but adds a great deal of interest. Nice!

Earrings and necklaces on deer? I can relate. When I was in Yellowstone I photographed several coyotes with tracking devices around their necks.

Nice shot Leann. Guess this really fits the description of the "hand of man" doesn't it. I just hate the tags and collars. I've had a similar problem with neck bands on geese and swans.

Thanks everyone,
I could clone the jewelry out but just thought this was also a good chance for a documentary type shot since it is still a reintroduction"project" with the elk to see how they would impact the area.
It would be awesome if they are allowed to stay in a less decorated way soon-ihope ihope ihope :smile:
