"Rise 'N Shine"

American Elk  -  Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

I made this image just before sunrise last Sunday in Horseshoe Park, while guiding Mike Caroff, a friend from California. It's always good when you can be at the right place at the right time.

Someone recently contacted me stating that being in the right place at the right time is the result of spending more time in the field. That's absolutely true. You will never be in the right place sitting at home on the sofa. You've got to spend time in the field. This is the secret to making great wildlife images.
