Hiked about 1/2 mile to these bulls. Not a lot of snow makes it easy to still get around.

Jaime Johnson: Elk Bull

Canon 1D Mark IV / Canon 500mm f4, F6.3 1/4000 ISO 400 1/3 stop under​

Jaime,

This, centered in the page is a magnificent animal and a fabulous reward for your half mile trek! I'd love to see more shots like this including more at the feet of the bull.

Did you also take any picture with a wider lens or is it too much trouble taking the 500 mm off the camera? Perhaps it's a whole different mindset: well framed images of the animal versus the animal in the landscape. Maybe it's the cinematographer from the National Geographic who documents this who takes the sweeping wide angle views of the terrain.
