One of the bulls I've seen so far this summer... he gave an alert pose after hearing a noise off in the distance... captured in the Wasatch Mountains here in northern Utah...
What a fine looking animal and the environment looks very rich and luxurious. Love the different flowers and the glow around the antlers. You have a nice POV for him and he is pretty well positioned in the frame. Very nice. TFS.
Wow, this is a moose and a half. Killer detail in the face and the fur. EXP perfect and I love the edge light on the antlers. At the very least this could have been improved by pointing the lens more to the left after focusing thus effectively moving the animal to our right in the frame. If the animal was stationary for a while, moving to your left might have yielded a better BKGR, one without the tree trunk(s) behind the head. All in all superb but it could have been still better.

All said above I guess, but I really like how the velvety glow around the antlers make them stand against a background that otherwise might have been to busy.
Lovely soft light too, and great expression on the animal.
Are moose always this dark in summer?
