And this one. Pretty soon they will not be this relaxed!

The first is one of the best bull elk images I've seen.
This has it all...a regal pose, beautiful lighting, wonderful layered and defocused background.
For Pete's sake, you even got a catch light in his eye!
Truly excellent catch, Dan!!

EDIT:
I was writing this when you posted the second one. It's just about as good as the first.

Another fantastic couple of shots Dan! I like the regal pose of the first one, but I actually prefer the second image. I just like the overall setting better. I am hoping to make it up there this weekend. Maybe I will run into you again.

All those guys need is to sprinkle on a little Axe and the ladies will be all over them.. Great shots!

Expert work in every facet. And artistic as well.

Really nice. That first one looks very proud.

This has it all...

Except legs.
