Hi Al....i like the bg and the oblique foreground works for. The elk is sharp as a tack! Great shot! Like it alot!
have you considered flipping it horizontally?

[Alfred Forns]

... actually thought about it Bob and I think it makes a difference :)

Alf, the elk really stands out against the background, almost looks unreal like a Bateman painting.

Would like to see him on this side of the hill so to see all of his legs/hoofs.

Eyes just drawn to the action, bellowing! No issues with the legs.

Hi Al, comp works well, and I like the calling pose. The soft light has brought out the fur detail nicely, and the elk certainly does stand out against the mountain BG.
