Sweet shot Steve, this one is the best of the three silo shots you've presented recently for me, I think because of the action shown here.. The sharpening halos could be removed before printing using memory brush after sharpening... Thats minor though, a really great image here...

You're really on a roll with your sunrise silhouettes Steve and this is another very fine shot. Perfect for the pano crop chosen, and my only nit is the halo around each Elk. Nice one!!

Steve you are on a roll!!!!!! This works great the bull doing his posturing and the girls not paying much attention!!!

One suggestion.... you might try adding to the bottom to have a little more room. If you trace the legs of the bull elk he is on the bottom of the frame?

Excellent image!!!!!! A large print must be impressive!!!!!

Wow! This is really nice. The positioning of the various elk works very well and there is a nice sense of action. It is a very clean and graphic image. That color is amazing. Nicely done!

Liked them all but this is far away my favorite. Pano crop is great and color for silhouette is wonderful.

Other than the halos this is a really nice shot. Even though it's a silohouette I'd like a bit more room on the botom as I think the legs of the bull are slightly cut off.

I guess I need another monitor. This is a 17" LCD.
I got rid of my old Sony since it was very old, but was 20". I do not see halos on my monitor. The old Sony was still good, but this is a lot thinner. I guess there are trade offs.
THe next generation of monitors will eventually grace my desk.
There is actually more room on the bottom, so when this is printed, there will be plenty of room for the not seen legs, it does seem a bit truncated now that it is mentioned.
