I really like this one Dan. Especially the layering of the orange and yellow sky. Did you leave as much dark space on the bottom as you did to place the elk higher in the image?

I am liking this composition too. I would leave less dark FG - crop it up some as you don't need a lot to anchor the image IMO. The colors in the sky are great.
Very nice image Dan, the sky here is amazing! The only things I would fix is the orange fringing around the elk and the trees and reduce noise on the BG.
Nice work, I agree with the crop from the bottom - the suset colors are amazing and the head pose is pretty good as there is not a lot of merging of the antlers in the silhoutte.
