No apologies needed for this one Carole !!! Love the seeing the moose in the water .. and great looking water.
I know you were trying go get detail in the moose which you did but the trees are a little over, easy fix selecting the lighter colors and multiplying.
I like how you have clearance between the moose and stumps/rock. Room up front is good, might rotate a bit and take some from the bottom. Don't find it cluttered at all and do like the image very much !!!
I like the fur details and the raise back leg. Maybe a little too many elements but they helped in showing the environment the moose is in. The lower left rock in the foreground can be a bit distracting and I agree about the CW rotation.
I like the light. The composition works well. Raised leg adds some drama.
I must tell you that when I first looked at the image, I spent a long time looking at the log/branches on the right hand side. It looked like antlers of a submarining moose --- LOL.
Cheers
