This large bull elk was photographed in Rocky Mountain National Park during the rut. He was posed nicely on a ridge line with the early morning sun directly on him.
Canon MarkII with Canon 70 to 200mm f/2.8 lens and a 1.4 converter @ f/5, 1/800, ISO 200. Photo was taken from an automobile with camera resting on a beanbag on the car window. Some cropping with levels and sharpening in PS. Possibly could lighten BG, but I kind of like the contrast against the darker BG. Opinions welcome.

Awesome shot. Fantastic light and great BG. The open mouth is a great bonus.
I might selectively sharpen the head a tiny bit more.

A very nice, in the environment shot, doing what they do in the environment. No nits!

Beautiful lighting Louis, with the contrast in BG & FG really making this fine image.

I like the overall habitat and pose. Background colours are nice. A sharper head would strengthen the image.
Cheers,

It's a cracker! I like the pose and the contrast, I would try a little more sharpening on the head.
