Bull Elk group in West Horseshoe Park, RMNP. Nocturnal animals, which head to the forest during the day's sunshine. This was part of a group of dozens of bulls, socializing in a bachelors' group.
Always inspired by AllenP's image. Of course, my elk are live, wild and free to flee.
Sorry Richard, I'm with Anita in this. Looking for a definition of a silhouette I found this on Wikipedia: A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all.. Maybe there are more definitions, but that does not make her comment ridiculous. I think she is entitled to say what she thinks, that's the whole purpose of giving comments.
Congrats with a beautiful image of these impressive elks and with the Yellow!
Your definition and Neat's definition are much more narrow than intended by the original challenge description. A natural looking silhouette is not often pure black, unless doctored in Photoshop to the nth degree. In the case of my image, most voters felt it met the challenge. I do see the low votes, which evidently represent those who wanted to see an artificial silhouette.

I noticed that too. However, it didn't bother me much. I felt the elk on the left, being patricianly obstructed was more of a distraction than their rear ends!
I gave it a 7.

This is not a true silhouetted image. I can see the middle ones backside quite clearly :-) Not to mention the other two also. I would of darkened Image more. Voted earlier.
Really great find and capture. Just wish you had a better sky to go with the great silhouette. As a wildlife photographer I know you don't have 100% control over your shots.
