Hi Marina, looks like a small taster of the storm that is coming your way on the east coast.
Were you above him judging by the angle, looks like you were shooting a little down? If you were on foot then I think perhaps to have knelt down might have provided a better angle and avoided the 'cotton grass' (?) in the main grass, as it just seems to catch my eye sadly. Having a lower SS has certainly captured the rain and conveyed the scene well.
BTW Well done on Natures best.

Thanks for the kudos on NB, Steve. This bull was was down in a small valley. I was out of the vehicle land kneeling down for this capture. No way to get any lower unfortunately. There is no way I would have gotten out of that vehicle in this rain had he been on higher ground. :)

Hi Marina - I like the walking pose and the brown tones here. Sharpness looks good. Nicely done to capture the rain drops as well.

The streaky rain certainly adds to this, Marina. Nice image.
I think you could perhaps extract more detail/depth from the elk - ISO1000 is quite workable on the 1Dm3 in my experience. 
Thanks for clarifying the shooting angle.

The driving rain and head position on the elk have been portrayed very well here, nicely captured Marina.
