Description

is your name, O Lord.

This magnificent bull elk was grazing on the far side of RMNP. He was amazing!
He had 11 points. Every time a motorcycle would drive by he would lift his head.

Taken around 1 pm with my 70-200mm lens Handheld.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Kim- Well your title says the first work that comes to mind when you see a beast of this stature, majestic. What a handsome dude and you captured his character as if he is the ruler of his domain. Beautiful colors, love that rack. His territory is beautiful and I love the little yellow flowers to and to the color balance. Excellent lighting and clarity, beautiful compositon.
Gorgeous work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and take care. #7902882
