Fall is here in the great expanse of Yellowstone National Park and this bull elk is in full rut. They can be quite dangerous at this time of year so it is best to keep a safe distance. Two minutes after this image was taken his harem joined him and they crossed the river.

This is a fantastic image. In fact your gallery is fantastic. The clour and vibrancy of the image enhances the natural setting.
