I usually don't focus on wildlife, but I just couldn't pass this one up. Taken high in the tundra in Rocky Mountain National Park

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    VERY nice wildlife photography! I shoot almost exclusively wildlife and landscapes and these two are incredible. Very nice use of the sun, without blowing out the detail.

    Well done!

    The light on #1 is sweet! A little straightening and cropping could add more impact.

    Gorgeous images. I really like the use of light. It definitely sets these photos apart from your "typical" elk shot. Great job.
