Graysville, AL - United States

Your composition and capture of this old fellow is wonderful. I love have you have the rule of thirds. The tree in the upper left, the sunset in the upper right, and the elk in the lower left. Then of course the meadow leads you into the picture. Great work!

Beautiful yet sad capture, Catherine, the landscape and composition are gorgeous!

Thanks, Jenny. I may have seen this male in another part of the park last autumn. Almost crashed the car trying to stop but by then he'd disappeared.

Description:

All proceeds from the sale of this image are donated to the Aurora Victim Relief Fund.

During elk mating season at Rocky Mountain National Park, the rangers must supervise the tourists and photographers to keep them from entering the meadows and interrupting the mating rituals of the elk herds. Long lines of vehicles block the sides of the roads and people leave their cars and radios running as if they are watching television at home.

The day I took this photo I had grown weary of elbowing my way through the crowds and photographers. Remembering the photographers' dictum to look behind to see what is behind the obvious capture, I walked the other direction of the herd. Down the road and around the curve I found this old lone, scarred bull limping up the hill as the first snow of the season was beginning to fall. He was so tired and head so low I fear it was his last winter.

Yet the story doesn't end there. Two years later as I toured the park I spotted this old buck on his own once again in another part of the park. I recognized him by the scars on his side and the same limp. A true tale of tenacity and survival.
