Majestic looking critter in an iconic pose.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Excellent pose and image

Great title Zeph and a really cool shot. Great timing here.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Great shot. Nice separation from the background. I might try a bit tighter crop, loosing the top 1/4 (the bottom of that closer branch in the top right).

It's their nature to be lonely, and ornery!

Well done!


I've yet to get a good bull elk image.

This is wonderful, Zeph. How close were you?

Thanks Jim, I'll try that crop...

From my memory, not very close as these guys are very unpredictable, maybe 150 feet.
