Roosevelt's Elk are beginning the annual Rut. Happy to catch a few last week. This guy had a mean attitude and had just run a few cows around, hence the tongue showing.

I like all the decorations on the rack! Nice light and head-on perspective. In this case I'd crop a bit from the left so that he is in the center of the frame left-right, since this is such a symmetrical viewpoint.

It looks like he has a rack of candles at first glance. Centre him and you have a winner Terry.

A nice shot of the elk with the decorated rack.
Having a charging shot would have worked too!!!!

Thank You all!!!

I had considered centering with the small crop but deferred to the latter.. I guess
you really should go with first instinct..
Thank you again..
