After more than a decade, I am happy to see this image finally get its due...
I took this in Denali National Park in September, 2010. The scene was perfect - a few mature bull caribou grazing & locking antlers on a ridge with North America's tallest peak (Denali) in the background. I composed in anticipation of it being used for a magazine cover, vertical orientation with one caribou isolated & moving into the frame, and it paid off..
A big thanks to American Essence Magazine and writer Skylar Parker for the wonderful article (I posted last week) and cover story!
