Denali Moose

Description

After horses, moose are my favorite animal.  They are so large and intriguing and unique, and I think they are beautiful.  Although I've loved moose my whole life, I'd never seen one in person in broad daylight.  I finally achieved this in Denali National Park in Alaska.  Just when I thought I wasn't going to see these incredible animals, this young bull trotted right by our hiking group and proceeded down to Horseshoe Lake.  Being able to photograph him was an absolute dream come true.  He may not have had his awesome rack of antlers yet, but it was special nonetheless.

Oh my! This animal is gorgeous. ...And huge. O_O I certainly hope you were a safe distance away when you shot this image. *paranoid me*

Kidding aside, again, beautiful shot. Trust me; this moose is plenty impressive without his antlers. There's a powerful, yet almost gentle, air to this animal. I love his eyes. :love: I must also kudo your camera for being powerful enough to capture all the nice details, particularly the blades of grass and strands of fur. It adds great texture, and more importantly, makes me almost want to go up and pet this magnificent creature. Safely, of course. ;)
