This is another capture taking early in the morning while out in the Tetons last month. The Bull moose was great fun to photograph and such a beautiful and majestic creature to observe in the wild.

He looks good in that environment. I would try a Shadows/Highlights adjustment with a bit of highlight slider to remove the glare on the antler and some shadow slider to open up the dark tones.
Judy, for me this is about as good as it gets. Lovely light, specimen, unobstructed head and torso, and details. The fact that he is in the middle of all that willowbush-moosechow-makes it even better. Excellent.
That is not just any moose but Moosie Moose !!!! Fine animal Judy !!
Would take advice on antler glare but won't be easy to remove, maybe selecting and multiplying could work !! Body wise I think you have enough detail in the fur, if you try the S/H do it very light since it will turn the darks to mush !!! One fine image Judy !!!
The exposure on the hide looks good to me Judy, and love the head turn. I remember your other one, and once again, lovely colours in the BG. Well captured.
