Munching Under the Moon
by Gary Minish
This is the same moose as my last post as it was getting darker and the moon was moving into the background. It was difficult to get it bright enough to show some detail on the moose without blowing out the sunset or moon. This moose was a very dark color anyway (essentially black fur on parts of it) and the light was weak. I also wanted to keep the near twilight mood of the scene as close as possible to what it was. To add to the difficulty, the moose was pawing the snow to uncover the grass so I needed as much shutter speed as possible. Despite all the issues this is my favorite of the moose shots because of the context and mood.

very nice mood and all over the setup is very good, as it is also the technically realization.
This is my favorite of your moose images so far. I love the mood - the colors and the moon translate nicely. You can almost feel the cold when looking at the image. Great composition. I'd say you nailed it! :)
Wonderful scene and expertly captured,
Congratulations on the WP . . .
