2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Rocky Mountain Elk, Canada Geese, Rocky Mountain National Park, Horseshoe Park, Colorado, United Staes of America
Pond Ripples with a Bull Elk and Canada Geese

Species: Rocky Mountain Elk, Canada Geese | Location: Rocky Mountain National Park, Horseshoe Park, Colorado, United Staes of America

I was hoping for a reflection shot of this Bull Elk in a pond in Rocky Mountain National Park on an overcast morning. It was at quite a distance and I was hand holding my long lens at 600mm. I couldn't see the ripples but saw the Canada Geese flying to the pond. I went on a long burst and was pleasantly surprised to see the ripple effect with the geese.
