Photographed some elk this morning on Trail Ridge Road. Very nice up there. Hardly even a breeze.

Here is another one. I was shooting about three of these males before it got crowded up there.

Love the background on this. It makes the whole pic just scream Rocky Mountains. How far away were ya from this guy??

I was not very far. Just had my 300mm lens. They remained pretty calm. Of course it did help I found these guys off the road and away from all the people.
