In 2001 NPS reintroduced elk into Great Smokey Mountain National Park. Here are a few from year before last; the first year I was able to photograph them. Looking forward to my time in the park this fall.

Wow ............... awesome images. Last time I was there I had a shot like the first image but never got it to the memory card as the Sony H5 died in the process. Haven't had the chance to get back again (and probably never will). However it was an super experience just to see one that close.

Wow. A pair of beauties! Sure looks majestic with that nice bouquet of points sitting on that head. Bet a lot of hunters would be dreaming of a catch like this. For me it is a real treat to see an image like this.

Same for me. And I love the fog in # 2 that adds a bit of mistery to it. A wonderful picture, well both are wonderful.

Great images, Josh. I sure hope that second one is framed and hanging somewhere special; it is absolutely beautiful!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

@James McQueen: it's a special valley and an experience I'll never forget. You should definitely try to return. On that particular morning I fought my equipment as well. At the time I was shooting a Panasonic G1 with a Minolta Rokkor 135mm f2.8 on an adapter and critical sharpness was difficult to achieve at best. This year I will be back with my D800 and 200-400vr and I look forward to a little less fighting with equipment and a little more enjoying the moment!

Really nice images. Love the majesty of the first one, but the second is the winner here for me. I suspect it would be a great wall hanger.
