Last year while in Yellowstone we came across this Elk. He didn’t have a care in the world. Except to keep his eye on his harem. He had at least a dozen cows under his care. I shot this at 340mm. This was still to close for my comfort. The only reason I got this close was that it was Yellowstone, and that meant that there were about 20 people closer to the animal then I was. It was getting dark when I shot this photo, so I used my monopod and a higher iso.

The Specs.
iso 640
340mm
f/5
1/60 second

I like the large rack on this animal.
I like how he is looking at me.
I like how he is isolated from anything.
