Wow, what an impressive crown of fresh antlers this guy has, Rick!

Very sharp and distinct capture, indeed.

Hi Rick,
A great first plane of this b. elk!
I like the good light on his head, that produced such great details on the fur and specially en its antlers.
The smooth greens at the background works great for the picture.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

2005 seems like a year you would like to do once more Rick. Opportunities abounded as this one...Just look at those antlers...how beautiful and majestic. I digress...why do Canadians call x amount of beers a rack and a half rack? Does it have connections in some way? Anyhow...nice image as is your way...Some animals here are awake in the snow yet..I have seen! Keep the faith...and stay warm,

He doesn't look to happy at you being there. I like the light on the velvet. It has a nice sheen to it.

Hi Rick,

Great close-up of this Elk with his amazing looking antlers. He looks like he's not used to them yet but proud of them at the same time. The eye and ears are wonderful too.

Hi Rick,
this guy looks very proud of his new antlers! :)
Great detail from the velvet on the antlers to the rubbery texture of the nose.
Wonderful lighting that casts atmospheric shadows.
Great POV and composition.
Nice colours.

Wow, Rick, this is so beautiful, the antlers look so soft and velvety. You captured this elk so well, with the strong lighting and yet, beautiful colours. Thank you to show us those beautiful wild animals that I never see otherwise. Bye bye,

Hi Rick
I don't think I ever saw this image...shame on me. He's a real beauty, very proud looking or maybe he just looking for his girlfriend. An excellent portrait.
Happy Thanksgiving
