    I like this Alfred. Nice pose by the moose and I really like the mood that the misty shadows of the mountains provides. Well done.

    Interesting pose. Do they make a noise? I have heard elk bugling, but I didn't know moose call.

    Nice mood you got. The background colours are nice and looks good. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Al

    Love the mood and setting very 'atmospheric'. The low POV, defused, muted, subtle foreground with the hint of the mountains in the BG works extremely well. A good environment images, however although viewing it on the laptop, would agree with Ken about a hint more detail in the head?

    Hi Al, I think this is an excellent shot, I especially enjoyed position of moose with the darker mountain behind him, as well as his pose, and the soft colours. Well done. One question, could you not have traded some S/S for lower iso if you were looking to lower iso, as you stated?

    Hi Marc The sun was in an out so I left the high ISO setting, would have gladly gone down, was working from a tripod. Lots of moving around to get into position and walking in that environment is not easy :) Fun morning !!
