This elk came pretty close to giving me a kiss. You can see the reflection of the side mirror of my truck in his eye. Thanks for the comments.

Now that is what we call a "Close-Up" JimBob. Great focus and sorry you missed out on that kiss.

I'm happy it wasn't a Grizzly Bear giving you the eye that close.... Is he stuffed or real? I didn't know they had Moose in Ohio...oh I'm such a kill joy. Maybe he just wanted a ride in your car to Canada. Super duper closeup Jimbob!

This is quite a close-up Jimbob. When I look at him closely I think I can smell him! Pity that shadow fell just across his eye. Great capture!

Marvelous close up of this fellow and he sure is giving you the eye Jimbob. Don't get too close. Fabulous clarity, detail & lighting/shadows.

It looks a little cross eyed JimboB. I hope you were careful with him. After looking at your avie I can see why he was interested. Nice presentation.

Man You sure got some fantastic shots Jim, What a great close up. I think I would almost be a bit leery of them getting so close. Their looking for handouts and are so used to people I suppose. Love these shots. ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

So, Jim were you eye-balling it or was it eye-balling you. A wonderful close up. Nature up close and personal.

A great closeup, Jimbo. It looks like he's sittin' in the seat next to ya. I bet that truck smells great after hauling all these animals around. Fantastic capture.

Yes this is a great close up! I thought it was a moose. I'm glad you cleared that up. Great capture, I would have forgotten I had a camera at that moment.

Playin' with the 70-300mm are we? lol Boy, you've got that mastered! I wouldn't fool with an elk so I know you must be some distance from him. What a close up!

I am glad you were sitting in your truck Jim, they can be very agressive. It is a great closeup and I wonder what the look in that eye is saying. Perhaps you are right and you missed out on that kiss ...LOL. Excellent work!

Ah... I never knew how those humongous anthlers hook up to the head... Now I know! And they have such a strange texture... They look like bone that has not completely lost its skin and hair... Very creepy.
