Very cool closeup of this moose. Excellent sharpness and detail. Nice natural colors. A good catchlight in the eye. Good luck in the contest.

Grace, this is excellent.

Your colors, clarity and all detention to details are perfect here.

Yes, a close crop but I feel it works here.

Very nice done and glad I had the six left for this.

:):) This is an interesting shot. The smile of the moose brings instant smile on the viewer's lips too. Fine composition, soft colours and very good light makes this first rate. Good luck!

Excellent capture of this moose and a great entry for the contest. Good initial impact, lighting and focus. Really like the smile and capture of the eye. The close crop enhances the detail of her coat and the light brown coloration. Great work and good luck in the contest.

I have never seen a moose smile before, but this one looks indeed as if smiling. A appreciate the excellent focus and the crisp capture of detail. The natural colors are as well much appreciated. "Smiley" is nicely placed into the frame. Its an intriguing portrait.

This is a really great photo Grace. You have captured a unique 'smile' on this Moose. The focus and details of the face are spot on sharp. Good job of cropping so as to focus on her face. Well done Grace ~ Steve

    Thank you! You are so kind. I would like to have gotten a male with full antlers, but I was lucky enough to get a nice grin from this female :)
