Slight crop and rotation. Used a quadtone preset from Luminous Landscape and a texture which I desaturated. Other usual PS adjustments, sharpening, darkened the eye etc. Had to save for web at 65!

This scene was made for black & white, and you did a terrific job with it. I like the original capture with the pose of the moose, the composition, and the range of tones. The lower vegetation in the foreground and the trees in the background give a nice sense of depth. Great detail, too.
I assume the title is a product of your imagination and not where this was really taken. Probably the Algonquin forest???
That moosey eyeball is really eye-catching :S3: !!! It is always so fascinating how such a big animal can blend in so well with the background. Good that there is some light on her face, and I like that up-tilted head pose. The b&w works very well here, I can see both the forest & the trees. The tones seem to provide a more visual order that color can sometimes obscure. Maybe this is one of the reasons animals usually have limited color vision.
Yes Dennis, it was Algonquin Provincial Park. My imagination carried me away with the title, because the forest seemed seemed dark and foreboding :S3: !Quote:

I agree with above this image screams B & W, perfect for theme, excellent capture.
Gorgeous. Great pose, composition, processing. Crisp. Interesting. Great eye--yours and the Mooses.
Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated:S3:
