Elk
Caught these elk on Trail Ridge this morning. Just wish I had the sun behind me.
Thanks for looking.

Cool capture! I wish you had the sun behind you too :smile:

Nice image, Dan. I think the backlight works well here - you have catchlight on mom and the calf's fuzzyness is highlighted by the backlighting. I'll be happy to take this image if you're not happy with the light - Well done!

You've been on quite a run with those fox and pelican shots with spectacular light. And although the lighting here isn't spectacular, it's still lends a nice warm feel to the image as Dave points out. Very nice!

Interesting shot. I have a very similar shot from RMNP a few years ago.
