This particular scene lasted just a couple minutes - sunrise and the crossing of the elk... My contribution was in lining up the reflection of the rising sun. As the elk moved to the left I backed up (ie moved scene left) in an effort to get more similar shots.
This photo was taken on May 2, 2010 using a Nikon D300S.

Fantastic shot. You seem able to see what you're going to have before you shoot. I still have to wonder what will happen if I do this or that.

Wow - a fabulous contribution to your Vertical Project series. Love this- almost like arctic tundra (well, without the trees)... on the eastern shore!

I like the contrast of the horizontal line of elk with the vertical composition.
