Taken up in Rocky Mountain National Park. Came across a herd, and got a few shots in. I liked another shot more, but it had some 'issues' that might not be DPC friendly. So I went with this one. Probably will get dinged for the branch, but I think it adds to the picture. Guessing 5.7x for my final score.
CS3 edits: crop, smart sharpen (twice), slight curves, add contrast +25, saturation +10, resize, unsharp mask, and add border. Then did some burn & blur to the background and burn to parts of his snout and above the eye.

It's a shame you couldn't have moved that branch out of the way but at least it doesn't cover up her face. The focus is really good, specially on the nose and the golden fur on her back and neck.
