Two bull elk lock antlers in an intense sparring match on sandy ground, their massive racks interlocked in a dramatic display of power and dominance. The photograph captures rich brown tones against pale earth and soft, blurred background trees, freezing a moment of raw wildlife competition with sharp detail and natural lighting. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
