The photo I like most is the one of the Elk. Now there is only one thing I kind of don't like about it... The focusing. It appears that the hind quarters of the Elk is in focus but the rest is soft. It would have been better if the focus was done on the head of the elk. If auto focus was used, you can change which focus point to be active and then focus with that.

Lexatgo, I so agree! I am still working on this. I do use auto focus and I tend to use a shallow depth of field when I probably should have bumped that up a bit. I get so excited when I find a great subject in the wild, that I forget the important stuff!

They are all beautiful, but my favorite is the elk in the woods.

That is what I try to communicate when I do photos too. I don't always follow the "rules", and I have even taken a pic or 2 and blended them, or built a complete collage when I have a pic that looks plain by itself, but it makes a nice background for a particular theme.

LOL, my wife and I already ate that bass last summer. Sorry we didn't save any, but on the bright side, we can always go out for more. :-D

In my opinion I think you cropped the Elk too much.
I love the trees off to the right so I just cropped it slightly. I did lighten up his head so you can see his face, I darkened the foliage some and I darkened his back just a little.
So in my opinion I like it much better this way :)
Isn't it grand that there are so many different opinions so we can have different photo's out of just 1 photo :-)

Oooohhhh Caroleann! I like it! Yes it is very cool how we can change the look with software. So many people and so many perceptions. I find the all the different styles very interesting. Thanks!

I like the vibrancy of this elk after you edited it. Are you using photo shop, or paint shop pro?
I use Paintshop Photo Pro X3, and 4. Nice rich definition.

Thank you :) I use Photo Shop CS5 But I did this editing in Niksoftware using Viveza 2 and color EFXPro 3.3 Complete :)
