I like the interaction here. Unfortunately for the color version, I was shooting through heavy grasses. Of course, it’s an easy fix to turn it into a black-and-white with minimal processing additionally. This is a full frame shot. I included the original color version just so you can see what was done.

What technical feedback would you like if any?

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

Pertinent technical details or techniques: iso-8000, 400 mm plus 2X extender, 5.6, 2500th, full frame, in heavy shade

(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)

David: I like the processing and the pose. It would seem like one elk is telling the other a secret. :sunglasses: Richard

I prefer the b/w David, but to be honest I am struggling a bit with the tight composition of the one on the left and the OOF foreground grass
