Impressive in so many ways! Magnificent-looking moose up close and personal with nice fall colors.

Thanks for posting.

WOW!!! That is a phenomenal shot!

I get to see one everyday as it hangs over my fireplace . . . courtesy of my Grandpa!

Someday I hope to have the opportunity to capture a photo like yours! What size lens were you using? How long were you waiting before he availed himself for the photograph?

Thanks for sharing - this would make a great desktop image for a big iMac!!!

I was using a Sigma 150-600 on a 7D2, so objects appear closer...
I sat out in the marsh pre-dawn and he came out from his bedding area a couple of hours later.
When he emerged from the thick brush, he made quite a racket with those big paddles, then gave out a couple of very deep grunts to challenge nearby bulls. It was a little nerve racking but something to see!
He then proceeded to nibble his way along the edge of the water right over to where I was standing. Moose in Algonquin park are very habituated to human presence. He didn't mind me being there at all (thank god!).

Quite an experience. I saw one up close one time - surprised it in a remote area when driving from a campfire after midnight. You realize how huge they are. No pictures.
