14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Bull Elk in the Mist

The bull elk in this image was traveling alone very early one morning just after dawn along Yellowstone Lake in Yellowstone National Park, barely visible through the thick layer of fog. As he slowly moved along the beach bugling into the mist I managed to capture a few images before he disappeared into the thick treeline.
