Moosy Moose

[Alfred Forns]

From my recent trip to Grand Teton National Part and Yellowstone with Dale Franz. This large moose made a trailer park his base of operations and was some kind of fun. He had five cows with him and was well behaved but not the cows.

I watch some people run for cover behind the trailers getting away from them. I did not see it but was told a person in the park later that day sounded a moose call which upset Moosy Moose big time and went after him !!!

Finally have some wildlife thanks to Dale, had a total sensory overload the entire time !!!


Comments welcome and much appreciated

Nice looking rack on that bull. Nice pose and I really like the lighting on the habitat.

I love the behaviour and the fact that a little bit of light is hitting his mouth. Really like the background and foreground as well.

Really a fun image, love the pose of the moose. There's a horizontal line near the top that I'd get rid of. Looking forward to more from your trip.

Love it and agree about cloning out that power line.

I met Dale at the Mormon barns on that Monday morning and I must have been right alongside you, there at lot #182 in the Gros Ventre Campgrounds.....it was fun to watch but he was so docile. I thought I was going to have to check for a pulse, he was so still at times.

Wonderful timing Alfred and so well composed. Beautiful lighting and BG adds to this great image. Love it !!! Miss you all .

Moosie Moose at his best :) Agree on gettin rid of the power lines at the camping site. Moosie was a terror ;)

Heck Alfred it looks like he's calling right now, a great action photo a nice composition. I have called moose in Ontario flying out of Nakina and it is awesome, unfortunately for the moose I did not have a camera like I do most of the time now.

The pose is way cool. Super job handling the exposure and post-production. An all around winner.
