    Nice side lighting has given the eye a real glint in this shot Andreas, and the BG is nice and complementary without being overpowering. I love it when you can get up close and see the textures in the horns

    Hi Andreas,
    A very nice look at this Elk. Nice soft light illuminating the head and eye. Lovely detail and sharpness. Good DOF too.
    TFS.

    Beautiful capture, Andreas - love the rich colours, those superb textures, clarity of the eye, also those gorgeous antlers.

    I really like the pose from the subject here, the Elk is attentive, inquisitive, a little hesitant perhaps. The smooth, deep green BG adds so much to this already well-framed and presented image.

    A pleasure to view, thank you Boetie - just wonderful!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Andreas - A very nice portrait with excellent detail. Agree that the bg also really sets him apart and adds to the effectiveness of the portrait.

    TFS,

    Really stunning portrait Andreas, showing that the rack doesn't always need to be fully included - appreciate the facial detail and soft light in this one.
    Really pops from the BG!
