Great silhouette! A small nit would be to suggest a pano crop with a some cropped off the bottom.

Would be a great shot without the elk. This is over the top...

Beautiful shot Dan. Both are very nice, but for my tastes I prefer our original crop. Wonderful scene.

I certainly could imagine seeing this as a cover shot in a variety of cropped modes! Well Done - Beautiful light you found for your subject.

Excellent work in silhouette Dan, love this one.
I think the bit off the top improved it nicely
