You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the hell else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who do the f uck do you think you're talking to? Oh, yeah? Ok."
I thought it was about time to post another picture which suits my Movie Oneliner-theme. Because noone else is making an effort to contribute to the theme, I have to do it myself. ;) This classic movie oneliner comes from the fantastic movie Taxi Driver (1976).

This Bull Elk was shot by me in the morning on our campsite in Jasper. We stayed at the Whistler's campground and this Bull Elk was making scary noises all night long. Luckily for me, he was still there after a freezing night (-10 degrees celsius). The Bull Elk was as wild as it gets and was just passing through our campsite looking for a mate.
Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), known as elk or wapiti in North America, are the second largest species of deer in the world. The animal you see in the picture is the Rocky Mountain Elk. Contrary to popular belief, the Rocky Mountain elk was not an animal of the plains that retreated to the mountains because of the encroachment of man. Elk always lived in the Rocky Mountains. The current North American elk population is about 800,000.
Rocky Mountain elk bulls weigh 300-370 kg (700-800 lbs) and cows 200-250 kg (450-550 lbs). Bulls may stand five feet at the shoulder, with legs three feet long and body lengths of eight feet. Their coloration is generally tan with dark brown legs, neck, head and belly, with a buff colored rump. Bulls may be lighter colored than cows, appearing silver at times. White and silver colored animals do not appear in the wild. Antlers of mature bulls usually have six or more points per side with main beam lengths of 1.5 m (5 ft), inside spreads may reach 48 inches.

Hi Pieter,
I used a new sharpener and warmed up the colors a bit more. What do you think?
Kind regards

Pieter, I simply applied a very small amount of USM for viewing... Amount 70, radius .3 pixel, threshold 0
The change is very subtle but noticeable..
