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 !!! 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.
What a great capture of the moose! Nice composition all around and black and white really works here. Nice work!
I agree with above this image screams B & W, perfect for theme, excellent capture.
