I like the feel of the cold I get from this shot, Sandy.
Classically framed and nice golden tones to contrast with the white snow.
The falling snow is a nice touch. In your larger version I would sharpen the face and mouth some more.

Lovely image, Sandy, with great use of dof, and conveying the impending cold winter beautifully!

I like the snow in the air, the harmonious setting and good choice for depth of field. Nice capture.

Nice job Sandy, love the habitat in this image, reminds me a little of the area I live in. The moose seems to be in very good condition. The head is up just enough that it isn't buried in the brush, nor is the attention back at the photographer. I do agree with Morkel on the sharpening issue of the larger view.
