Nice image Sid. I like the inclusion of the surroundings. I know this spot well, missed a big 7x7 here by less than a minute in Sept :(. Looks like you had a productive trip, glad you were able to get a variety of critters. As mentioned on other posts, you have done well with you exposure in the snow. Once you figure it out you wonder why it was ever a problem. Well done.

Todd,
Trust me. Two straight seasons my backgrounds looked like white paper. I was very particular about exposure this year. No more white papers....:p

It says Post Card to me. Well executed Sid!

[Jeff Parker]

I really like the inclusion of the background with the mountains and a strip of sky.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

Great idea to go with a vertical here. Exposure is great as well is the detail in the snow. Not a big fan of the fence though... JR

Thanks JR. Me either. Too much work to take it down :p

Super comp Sid, and I like both the placement of the Elk, and the snowy BG.

[Andrew Merwin]

This is a beautiful image Sid. I like the comp. & how well it shows the typical elk habitat.

[Morkel Erasmus]

you know I like this Sid - love the depth, BG, and details...exposure spot on

[Steve Canuel]

Another excellently exposed image. I like the pose of the elk and the repeating ridge lines in the BG.

[Don Lacy]

Wonderful Elkscape Sid really gives a nice sense of place.

Sid,

I am going to be the odd man out here and say the Slightly OOF BG is distracting. My preference would have been for sharp near to far. With the 100-400mm probably unlikely in one image so you could make the image in the OP and then focus in the BG and make that image then stitch the two in PS.

Robert,
Too much work. :)
