Bull Elk
This bull was grazing near Tower Junction in Yellowstone a few weeks ago. Taken with a Pentax K20D and DA*300mm f/4, 1/180 @ f/5.6, ISO 200.

Such a regal animal and a stately pose. It's too bad the background is rather busy with all the dead wood, but you take what you can get when shooting wildlife.

Maybe I'll get to see him again this fall with a little less clutter in the background. :rolleyes:

Nice shot. Agree about the background, but that is minor.

For a bull he sure looks like he has a sweet disposition! I agree about the background, but the subject is sure nice. It was great to meet you back in May, hopefully we'll cross paths again.

Thanks Dan and Don. Don, It was nice to meet up and get to know another member. I'll be back in Yellowstone in September for another foray.
