I love the way the tree branches framed the picture and draws your eye into the elk. Great job

One of the best Elk images we've ever had in the forum Hector - and we've had many! The collection of different elements you've included in your composition just come together so beautifully to enrich what could otherwise be yet another 'Elk'. Really superb and a work of art. I love it! 8)

Lovely scene with good behavior. I like the framing with the trees in the corners and the placement of the bull with clear background behind him. Really nice.

The framing really sets this image apart from other elk captures, Hector. Then you add the bugling and all the elements of the environment, and you really have a winner.

Nicely framed, with the subject size just right for adding a sense of scale and context.
He definitely has his eye on you.
