Moose cow and calf

[Charles Glatzer]

Moose, Alberta

A cow moose and calf spent plenty of time this morning foraging in Medicine Lake. I took a number of images from just above the water surface, but preferred the images taken higher on the bank, where I moved my camera to keep the moose within the yellow aspen reflection.

Lovely image; I like the framing. How about a tutorial on the frame?

[Dan Brown]

A real work of art! I would like a little more room on the right but this is a beauty! Agree with Jay on the tutorial!

[Hilary Hann]

The yellow aspen reflections in the water make this image stand out and nice to hear your reasons for changing the pov. Certainly works here.

[Steve Uffman]

Ah the world you see and how you see it....beautiful, exceptional and all the other superlatives.....how really do you get a cow and calf to pose together with great light with just a touch of aspen reflecting in the water? I guess you have to go to know!

[Steve Canuel]

Great colors, detail, and interaction between these two. I especially like the placement of the radiating ripples between them.

[Tom Graham]

Like it for all reasons above and for me has that "frozen moment in time" look that I can't define.

Really creative to change the view point from eye level for the much better golden reflection. Love the water drips and interaction. Beautiful details.

[Pieter de Waal]

Beautiful moment captured in this lovely image. Nice light and defenition on the Moose and reflection on the water as mentioned is superb.

[Mark Wiseman]

I like the detail, colours, composition and the ripples in the water. The crop is fine with me and I agree with Grant that I would change nothing- super image!!!

This capture simply rocks in every way. Love the intimacy between the 2 and the colors are amazing. Water droplets add a lot too as well asl the swirl in the water. You managed to get so much details in their coats.
