Nice nature shot, but a little washed out in the background. Would saturation in your photo editing software help?

Comment by FranziskaLang:
first reaction -- hm. i really didn't think sin applied to animals... but that's just me.
challenge -- met
technical -- the bull and the cow's face are too dark. maybe try and increase the gamma in your photo editing software (if your software allows that). i just increased it to 1.62 and i could see some more details.
composition -- love how the elk cow is looking into the camera :) i wonder what a shallower DOF would've done to blur the background, but - if you are like me in these situations - you just fire on auto settings to make sure you get the shots :)
overall -- 5 from gr8photos

No, it's not a sin for him :-) Great nature pic, though. I would have tweaked the contrast just a touch for a little more "pop". 7 nards656

Animal lust, it works for me. Very good shot! How did you get so close? (Are you in Alaska or BC? you don't have to answer that, I can wait) If I had any kind of complaint, it would be nice to have the sun on their flanks, but asking them to "pose" would be silly (I know, people have asked me for that!) 9 Swash

Did you shoot with a gun? I like the picture, is this in the wild? 8 Frank
