I'm with Danny as well, Xmas card material most definitely. Great habitat shot Chas. The middle BG really creating a 3D effect.

Really like how the surrounding snow and trees frame the elk. Nice soft light as well.

Before reading the comments, I too, say this is a xmas card through and through. Well done to capture him in the open between the trees.

great show of using the environment to add to a shot where many people would have looked past because he wasn't "in the clear". love your work Chas!
