Photographed some elk in Rocky this morning. They seemed to be a little more active. Thanks for looking.

Also caught this one. Kind of like the one I captured about three years ago.

Your shots turned out great Dan! I really like the effect you got with the snow. Was this one of the slow shutter speed shots?

Love that orange!

Second one is really cool!

Thanks for the comments. Kurt, this was not the slow shutter image.

Great stuff, Dan. That bull could use some table manners, but he sure makes a great subject, and the silhouette is awesome.

You're the man, Dan!

Both of these are simply excellent. Great work as always, Dan.

These are great! That 2nd one should be a poster at the RMNP visitor center.

Wonderful shots. Maybe take some of the blue out of the nose and antlers in #1, although it does lend itself to him being cold.
