Great images! That second one is awesome! Love the light!

These are both fantastic but the first one is just outstanding. One of the finest elk photos I've seen.

Both are very nice! I agree with Bret though, #1 is truly fantastic.

I also completely agree with Bret.
The regal pose, the changing colors (!) of the tree, the fog and the soft evergreen background combine to make this truly one of the finest elk portraits that I've ever seen. And you even got a catch light in the eye!
You need to submit this one all over the place, Kurt. Beautiful work!!

More great stuff from you, Kurt! Marvelous light and excellent poses. I saw this monster this afternoon still in Moraine Park.
