I'm not sure how much "man" is allowed for this forum, but there are 3 people up on the distant ridge photographing the sheep on it.  If it needs to be moved else please do so.  I couldn't wish the people away and waited as long as I could for them to get behind something before losing the shot.   :(

Beautiful scene you have captured.  Wonderful composition, with a nice Elk, fall colors and mountain snow.

Wonderful scene John, I always look forward to seeing your images and once again you have posted a beauty!  

No problems at all with the tiny people (ants?) on the distant ridge, and your great eye for composition once again shines through.  So much to feast the eyes on and enjoy here.  Love it!  8)

Lovely image. Love the layers and the overall "habitat" of the Elk. (Wouldn't mind the Elk being a tad brighter.)

What people?

This is absolutely wonderful John, just love the fall colors, the huge rack on the bull, and the gorgeous cloud layer over the mountains. The composition is so well balanced and such a good sense of movement and flow. Love it!

Lovely composition, the scene really tells a story and shows in great way the habitat of this amazing animal.

Hi John. The elk really adds to this beautiful scene, peak of the autumn colors too! I think you made a good decision to keep the scene a bit dark while retaining detail in the sky. It was nice meeting you back in September.

Very nice scene with the elk. I don't even make out the people so it is fine for me.

Excellent elkscape. Cloning out the human specks would be quite easy if you are in to that. I would be interested in your techs for this image.

Not sure of the techs off hand, but taken with a 70-200 probably at F16
