Critique Club critique:
Composition/Content: You really got a good shot of the Elk. Framing him in the middle of the image makes him the center of attention. It's too bad he's moving away slightly, but you still managed to get part of his face which shows some of his character. Great subject.
Lighting: It looks like it might have been cloudy with no shadows which accentuates his dark underside and almost white back. Makes the subject very interesting.
Background: Good job with a difficult background.
Camera Work/Technical: There is some grain from either a long zoom or enlarging a small crop.
Digital Processing: Despeckling would help get rid of some of the black and white specks in the background, smoothing the background slightly and separating the Elk from the background a little. Then increasing the contrast some brings out the dark underside and white back, separating the Elk even more from the background.
My Opinion: Besides needing a little post processing I think you did an excellent job in capturing a very interesting animal. The more I look at the image the more I like it.

| How in the world did you get so close to get this shot? Must have some telephoto. Started to say don't ruin it by B&W but he may have faded into the background if it wasn't green. I'd still like to see it in color. Nature shots are just so beautiful in natural colors. Good photo thought. As is it's a 7. Color would have been a 9. But's that's justs me. PTL |

| Good catch, wish there'd been more contrast between the elk and his environment, how'd this look in color? |

| I sooo wanted to give this a 10, but the grain is heavy, esp. the face (also blurry or out of focus). And I would have loved this in color. 7 Swash |

| The photo looks grainy - especially the top half. Is it heavily zoomed or something? |
