Captured this guy at Rocky Mountain National Park the other week. Used that shadow/highlight tool to bring out a little more detail on the left side. Thanks for looking.
That's the coolest elk image ever! Nice work isolating and capturing the decisive moment. The light and focus are awesome too.

Just another great shot for CO Outdoors to use!
Good catch!

Wow - that's "in your face" wildlife photography. Very nice! Good work with the shadow-highlight tool, too - looks natural and well-balanced.
As an FYI... one side-effect of lightening dark areas can be the introduction (or revealing) of noise. It looks like there's some noise (although barely noticeable) in the area that you lightened. If you ever want/need to clean up the image further, Noise Ninja does a great job and is reasonably priced.

Time for the people on this forum to start a collection for the
1700mm lens and a couple of lamas to carry the gear.
