I posted this image to show how large the body was on this elks. I also liked the vegetation between his antlers from sparing with the bushes and trees.

Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry, this is a lovely, natural shot. Even bent drinking you managed some eye contact. The grasses make a perfect backdrop for the elk. On the minus side, this would definitely have a better impact with the elk placed further to the right. The gritty bank at the top of the frame was unavoidable, I suppose. All the same, I wish it wasn't there. :smile:
