5th place - Neighbors
by mlynn

I'd just sat down to process/look at some more images, when I heard elk bugling. Grabbed my camera and a hat to keep over it (as it's still snowing), and saw several head of elk in a meadow downstream from my house. I walked over and started to take pictures, only to realize I had no card in the camera (it was still in the card reader). So I went back, put the card in, went back out...and luckily, there were still several elk there. (Probably a dozen or more, including 2 bulls.)
My conversion consists of a black & white layer (red filter I think).

the thumbnail looks great, and it looks even better at web size. I'm sure it will make a great print. Super composition, nice catch.
