The focus that is. Darn.  Taken with my Canon Xti and a 70-210 lens.

I hate it when that happens!! It's burned in your brain though, exactly the way you experienced it.

That is still a nice photo. ;) So close to being awsome. At least you were there and got to see it :)
Just one more day

That is an awesome capture.  I have so many near pics its insane.  The fact you were there and have it in your mind is awesome.  So many times I've wanted to capture th epic to share but miss it. 

I am guessing (haven't looked at your data) it was probably just camera shake as I don't see a focus spot like you focused passed him or on something else.  IS is helpful for sure. 

Thanks for the pic!

I wonder if huntnphool would like to share his method for sharpening the pic? If not thats ok. I have hundreds of elk photos. Here are a couple more of my favorites.
