Beautiful light and color! Like the way the head is thrown back and the open mouth.

Always tough to get elk in such good light, at least here in the states. They tend to come out at dusk, giving us about a 20-minute window to shoot before the light fades. I really like the light as well as the angle and "emotion" captured with this guy.
