This is a fine mountain scene with the elk in here ,I like the composition.I hope that I do not offend when I say that this has an oil painting like look to it.I think its a great image.
Nice composition as is, I think. Kudos. I think it's an interesting angle of view. The elk are really on a steep hillside, it looks like, and the horizon line is tilted a great deal in this photo. It gives the background trees an interesting tilt. :)
thanx for all the comments :) i didn't crop it more because i kinda like the elk in the far lower left hand corner -- something not expected. thots on this???
