Just north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore lives a small group of tule elk. On this particular evening, I caught them on a ridge line well after the sun had set. I bracketed in a bit of light to brighten up the scene and reveal the rolling hills and fog that had nestled into the valley below. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 150mm) ISO 400, f/2.8 at 1/50th of a second.
Wonderful photo, Sean. Point Reyes is one of my favorite places, but the park service is on the wrong path, catering to ranchers who had agreed to leave their inholdings long ago, to the detriment of wildlife.
Point Reyes is a spectacular place that seems to be less well known that some other beautiful places near Frisco, like Muirwoods. This is a wonderful ethereal view.

In San Francisco even the Elk are tech millionaires. That one on the right co-founded Uber.
Somewhat ethereal view but quite beautiful Sean
Thanks Mom. This one is in your colors.
Stellar!

Thanks Rick. I’ll have to read up on that. Haven’t been to Point Reyes in a while but memories of several trips years ago have always been good.
Brightening up the scene reveals to the viewer the vastness of where these elk roam. Beautiful.
Thanks Rachel, another one of those environmental portraits that I like so much.

True. And more conspicuous wildlife.
Wow wow wow all those shades of blue!
Ha, yes, quite the mood.
