The size of that rack! The new tips on the antlers are stand out. The background is soft and helps him stand out. Nice shot! Posted: 10/01/2026 10:05:42
Fabulous. I love how the bushes frame him, though if you have one with him a step or two forward of the one by his butt... Posted: 10/10/2026 11:56:04

Majestic portrait of the elk. He stands out nicely against the grassland. Good perspective showing his long antlers. I see the twinkle in his eye. Perhaps I would tighten the crop a bit. Nicely done. Great shot, Stephanie. Posted: 10/10/2026 20:42:06

He is so majestic! While the color palette in the background is similar to his, he still stands out beautifully. Maybe try to tone down the reddish bush by his butt. I didn't notice it at first, but now that it was pointed out it stands out for me. Posted: 10/15/2026 20:54:47

That's quite an Elk! This shot is very nice and to get him bugling is a good catch. He doesn't seem to mind you there photographing him. No suggestions. Posted: 10/17/2026 01:33:38
