This was this fall in the Madison. The entire herd had gone into the river to cool off.

I really like how the bull is out in front of the rest of the group leading the way. Lovely colors and contrasts. Would be nice if there was a bit more space above the tree in the middle and perhaps very slightly less river along the bottom. Well done.

I like how the shadow of his antlers is falling across his side. Almost looks like he is bugling or getting ready to. That is a great place to watch the Elk.

The exposure looks just right for this lovely scene.

I really like this photo! At first, I thought the shadow of the bull's antlers were distracting, but now I think its actually a pretty cool part of the photo! I have been trying to capture a photo like this for years!

Well done...crisp with subdued colors. I'd be tempted to crop a bit from the RHS - that snag (?) is a little distracting.
