Hi John -- What a strong looking specimen. I liked the overcast feel to the image but i would back off on the reds. The rut looks sharp and I might clone out the immediate extension of branches in bkg starting from the tip of its antler. Also a slight curve adjustment to the Elk.

Here is a RP, WDYT ?

Hi John nice looking rack !!!
Like the relatively clear view to the subject , albeit standing in that tall grasses . Nice colors due to the various tones and layering effect .
Subject looks good and sharp ....
I am with Haseeb about the color/tones .... and i would wish for a bit more room for the visual legs .

Great, John. Sharp. Repost makes clear there is a bit too much red, but you could probably split the difference. Ask me again when I get a calibrated IPS monitor.
