Gorgeous color and depth with a strong focus on a foreground and background and just a hint of the vast distance between. Horizon feels strong in this photo - i like it.

Grog pauses to admire noble beast, but hunt is at end. Tribe will eat well tonight.

Let's see... Elk, sharply in focus at what looks like 400mm.. I'm gonna bet the bank this is hahn23, if not, then Mr. Hahn might have some competition...

No matter who's image this is, it's a very nice shot, well focused and taken fairly close in, incredible detail, and although a small dose of Topaz could have done some wonderful things here, the natural look is also quite nice.

Darn shame this is basic, I bet that OOF grass spot on his neck bugs you as much as it does me... But, it's always super hard to shoot in these conditions and get the focus right, seems the camera always wants to focus on something besides the subject, really a challenge, but that's one thing that really makes this shine.

So the hazy, low contrast bottom left is from blowing snow? Fascinating capture of nature.
