Pennsylvania Elk

Nicely seen Gordon, Callie's alternate crop is likely the best option once it's been cleaned up some more.
If mine I'd leave as is, just don't like to mess with cloning that much area, but that's just my editing ethics.

Hi Ralph, Here is a link , Cool place but it can be hit or miss at times. Elk Visiter Center. The name of the town is Benezette, PA. Very cool but also very remote, Almost my entire time there is no cell coverage.

Thanks Gordon. I’ll check it out. Not too far from where I went to College(St. Francis, Loretta, PA)

Not really sure How I feel about this Image... I wanted the Two elk in the background but don't have a good way to crop this... It's kinda cool because of the water running out of his mouth after drinking from the puddle in front of him... Thoughts??? Or just trash???

Here it is. I just used content aware crop to pull the frame up and left. Once you have the larger frame, you can eyeball the ratio and crop as you want.
I just pulled it through Nik Viveza to make the sky a bit bluer, the buck a bit lighter and the colours a bit popper. it is not finished, if you like the idea, go and enjoy enlarging

Beautiful bull. My kind of image, for sure.

Thanks Jerry, I went to that one spot and stayed there for about 2 hours and saw one Female in the field behind the creek. But I can defiantly see why that was a hot spot.. I went to the visitor center and missed 15 Elk buy 10 minutes... Most of the day everything was not moving because of the weather. But that kinda how things go.. I had forgotten about the cell coverage... so that was kind of a bummer as it made finding some of my spots impossible.
