Wow. What a great moment you have captured! I wish that I could find something to critique but I really love the image as it stands.

[Howard Burkert]

Larry, This is an incredable image. The moose and reflection are very nice and the left rear leg out of the water is perfect. A real Photographic Essay! For my taste maybe abit lighter in the trees and water on the left.
Best,
Howard.

[Howard Burkert]

Sorry I ment to say, trees and water on the right!! Your image has overwhelmed me!!!
Howard.

[Glenn Wheeler]

Amazing image! The composition really works here with the moose on one of the Rule of Thirds power points. His leg up in a walking manner only adds to the image.

As earlier stated, I like the image as shown. Very nice!

Wow Ivan, what a superb image you have captured here - you can almost feel the cool of early dawn. The composition couldn't have been improved on, every thing spot on - well seen and taken!!

[Mike Lentz]

That image would look great on the wall!

[DanWalters]

Great shot! Love the colors and the moose really adds to the image.

[Stephen Stephen]

Poster size if how I'd really like to appreciate this great image. Congratulations Ivan.

[Bill Lammers]

This is a GREAT picture Ivan,one that shows the moose in his environment.perfect sunrise,and mountains!!! I would try cropping some off the bottom and the right side, to see if there is an improvement.
Bill.

[Gayle Clement]

Breathtaking. The sunrise and mountains are a wonderful backdrop for the moose.

[Ivan Rothman]

Bill,

I agree with your suggestion for cropping. Thanks

[Jasper Doest]

A very interesting image you've created Bill. While I agree with the comments on the right part of the frame (which isn't that interesting) I doubt if cropping would help in this case. The best way would have been if you would have moved yourself a bit more the right, shooting a vertical with the moose in the foreground and the sunset mountains in the background. That would be the ideal situation IMO, but you certainly made best of it....a well thought photograph!

[D. Robert Franz]

This is wonderful image but as mentioned above just a bit to much dark space on the right of the frame. Thanks for sharing.

[Geurt Bloem]

Love the mood of the image and works well for me. A small nit would be the dark part on the right and also the bright highlighted area to the right of the clouds.
