Another incredible set of captures. I also really like #2 and 4.

Some fine work here, Dan. I like them all How'd you move so fast to capture the front and rear views?

Dan, Great shots. This is a big old boy that has shown up several times. He really knows how to pose you know how to nail him. Great work!

Super images, Dan. What a stud bull and your images magnify his qualities.

Epic is the right word. These are all simply fantastic, and truly some of the best elk images I've ever seen!
The limited DOF (among many other things) just does it for me. I never ever tire of seeing your work posted here!
If I might make a suggestion, selecting the eye of the elk in #2 and lifting the Curve might help bring him to life a bit more by revealing the catch light I see buried in there.

Thanks! John, I actually went in #2 and lightened the entire head. Will have to try just the eye.

Great stuff Dan. Really like the last one how there a little color in the background.

Great series Dan! I like the first and last one's best, but also like the perspective of the bull bugeling and the cow looking up at him.

Dan, you are untouchable! #4 is one of the best elk shots ive seen.
