20D, 50-500, Kirk WM2 (used as roof-pod, IIRC).

Here is my take on the bull that Dick posted. Even though we're both using 20D's, our final results are very different.

In this version you can see the blowing snow.

I like this! :D By shooting horizontally the environment at the moment was captured well.

This is also a good example of how two photographers working the same subject and scene can come up with different interpretations. Congrats.

Nice shot Paul, love the alert expression and the mouthfull of grass! I think a slight boost in contrast/saturation would really pop this fine image! 8) 8) 8) :)

A very nice pose. It might just be the ground he's on but it looks like the camera was rotated a bit and the photo could use a slight counter clockwise rotation.

Hey Paul,

I like this, but I agree with both Carol and EJ .. a slight rotation, and then some Curves work, increasing the saturation, would make this really pop. not sure about the square crop though .. did you shoot it vertically or horizontally?

Cheers

Nice comp and good looking elk but as already noted it could use a little tweaking in PS and it will be even better.

another nice image Paul.

Looks like your new 20D is going to get a good work out in the next months to come.
