To me Michael, this is outstanding, because the grass is a great backdrop to the elk's head, without anything else taking your eye away from the subject. Nice and strong. #9888729

Could you have found a more perfect setting and pose for this amazing photo? I think not. Nature sometimes blesses us with its very best. Beautifully captured Michael. #9909607
