This one was taken in Grand Teton National Park two summers ago at sunrise. I just processed it for the first time. It was not originally exposed to be a silhouette so I reduced exposure in photoshop. Otherwise just minor changes and moderate crop.

Canon 5D3 EF 70-200 II IS @ 200 mm

1/500s F/4.5 ISO 400

Cheers,

Hisham.

A very nice rendition of an excellent image, It would indeed look good on a gallery wall.

Hisham, this is really great! It was a good decision to process as a silhouette, it's very powerful this way. There's a bright spot to the right of his antler that I might clone, along with a bright bit of grass in the LRC.

Beautiful image Hisham, love the back light rim lighting on those antlers and the golden lighting all around, nice placement of the subject in the frame. devil

Well done. I think this image works well with the reduced exposure. I, too, noticed a couple of bright reflections in extraneous parts of the frame that could easily be removed.
