Great photo! I am an artist and I was wondering if you would give me permission to use your photo as a reference in a painting. I would give you credit for it. My website is ppendergast.com. Thanks, Patty

Stunning capture, the mist rising and whirling in the background is so etheral..beautiful.
The high contrast between the elk's dark fur and white rump is brilliant.
Does it have spurs on it's hind legs...or am I seeing things? 0-o

I agree with Nate, fantastic atmosphere. Although, there appears to be some form of haloe around the antlers.

Looks very solid, and only on the very contrasting parts of the antlers, I thought it was down to the sharpening, but I'll take your word for it.
