This has a marvelous mood to it, a perfect depiction of the weather conditions. I like it a lot, no nits that I can spot.

Super comp, and love the layered BG in this. Trees, grass, river, FG.

The visible snow here is what makes the image for me. Nicely illustrates the daily conditions the animals of Yellowstone endure.

I like this image alot. The weather adds a nice mood to it.

Very good persentation. Not only does it create a super mood, it also shows how hard th life of the elk is.

Nice moody shot. Nicely conveys the feeling of autumn fading and approaching winter weather. I know its probably not, but the line of the bank makes me think it not level. Maybe needs a touch of CCW?
