Sweet shot, love the snow and the low angle... The white area in bg upper right is a tad distracting..did you get any others at an angle to exlude this.. Easily fixed in PS anyway.. Love the mood of this one, relaxed elk, big falling flakes. Thanks for sharing..

Maybe, but I like the way it echoes the snow covered torso, and divides the frame into two halves--one dark, one light. Very nice image.

Nice portrait; its the elks focused gaze and your attention to capturing it in sharp focus that makes this. Oh yeah, great composition too.

Perfect angle. My first thought was you must have been laying fla tin the snow, but then I read your post. I guess she must have been laying up on the bank for you to get this low angle from your truck window. Really cool shot.
