Another one taken on my recent trip to the town of Estes Park, Colorado. Taken in the early morning in the small park overlooking town and the lake. Cropped from horizontal to vertical to get rid of a large distracting bush in the rlc.
Canon 5D3
70-200 II @ 200mm
1/2500
f5.0 (given ss I could have stopped down a little more)
ISO 800
HH, levels, curves, selective color adjustments, luminosity mask, sharpened in CS6.
C&C welcome and appreciated. Thanks,
Rachel

As you had the SS I would have gone more the f/8, but at least f5/6. I would try and tame the exposure to the RHS easy enough to do, perhaps also above & at the foot just to bring a hint more 'depth' through, see what loosing some off the foot would look like, the image not the elk
. Add say 6% brightness and sharpen the Elk overall. You might also adjust the yellow in Sat/Sel col. Also, and I know you don't like to, but take the white spot out to the RHS of the elk & in the mountain, likewise the reddish one near the water in the BKG.
