From last week when I was up on Rondane and Dover NP in Norway. Followed several Musk Ox from dawn to dusk and I have never felt more humbold and lucky on a photoadventure.

D300s, 70-200 @ f/2,8 and 159mm. Tripod and CPL-filter

Neat photo! I like seeing the muskox in their environment. I do wish the bull on the right had his head turned more towards you. It does look like though, he is more intent on the bull with the cows!! Any chance you happened to get them butting heads? Thanks for sharing, really enjoy seeing the muskox in the wild photos.

Very nice. This would need to be viewed large to fully appreciate. The only (very minor) thing I would wish for would be a smaller aperture to render the lower left foreground into as good of focus as the rest of the image.
