The Sovereign’s Call | Bull Elk Fine Art Print

From $450. Click photo for printing options and purchase

There is no sound in the natural world quite like the bugle of a bull elk in rut — that extraordinary, multi-octave call that rises from a deep, resonant grunt into a high, piercing whistle and then descends again into a series of grunts that carry across miles of mountain meadow with a clarity and a wildness that stops every living thing within earshot. The Sovereign's Call captures the moment of that bugle in a portrait of complete and magnificent authority: a heavy-bodied bull elk standing in the amber autumn meadow grass, his massive multi-point rack rising above him with the sculptural grandeur that has made the bull elk one of the most iconic and most sought-after subjects in American wildlife photography, his mouth open in the call that declares his presence and his dominance to every rival within range. The autumn palette is extraordinary — the warm amber and rust and gold of the meadow grass wrapping the elk in the colors of the season, his dark neck and shoulders a rich counterpoint to the warm tones around him, the whole image breathing with the particular quality of a Yellowstone autumn morning when the rut is at its peak and the bulls are moving through the meadows with the single-minded, magnificent intensity of animals entirely governed by the oldest biological imperative. The antlers are the image's great crown — heavy and dark-tipped and carrying the full mass of a mature bull in his prime, the tines catching the autumn light with a clarity that rewards careful examination. A natural companion to Lord of the Forest — Grand Teton Bull Moose, The Courtship — Grand Teton Moose, Full Curl — Bighorn Ram, Yellowstone, and Valley of the Bison — Hayden Valley, Yellowstone, The Sovereign's Call stands as the most vocally alive and seasonally specific of the Yellowstone wildlife images — the bull elk at the absolute peak of his autumn authority, announcing himself to the world with everything he has. Available as a limited edition of 50 worldwide on ChromaLuxe Metal, Lumachrome HD TruLife Acrylic, or DuraPlaq® FloatPlaqs.
