Terrific set, Gary. My most liked pics in this set are #7 (Moose and calf), #8 (Egret) and #3 (Moose). One comment I've about the first picture (deer) is, a portrait crop may bring out the main subject more.

Appreciate the input Morris. Then in it's simplest form I guess you could say it's a landscape that happens to have an animal in it.

Nice set of images. Like you my wider shots are usually taken by default rather than by design. My mind's eye just sees in narrow FOV and shallow DOF. After so many years of doing so it's hard to switch.
I like how in #3, the moose, my eye goes from foreground, to boulder, to moose and finally to treeline, ridge, and sky beyond. Don't know if technical term is " layering ", but whatever it's called, it works for me.

Thank you all so much. Really appreciate the feedback !

Wonderful images, Gary! Yes, most of the time we get caught up in getting the reach of our subject. But your images show how lovely environmental images can be. Our best bet is actually to combine environmental with close-up images.

its an interesting genre of style that i hope to explore one day, if i ever get off this low angle craze. all very good examples, keep them coming.
Yeah but the low angle is addictive, isn't it Thanks !
These are wonderful images. Like many of us I to want to show closeups of faces and detail in fur and feathers. These shots prove there is more than one way to present our wildlife encounters. Hope you will post more.

Thank you John. I think going forward I'm going to devote a bit more effort to these types of shots rather than just an afterthought. Appreciate the input.

Excellent work. Just a question, have you adjusted the colors in the first picture? It looks surreal .
Thank you. Nothing in post, no. But I've always shot Jpeg and don't remember how my D700 was set up. That trip to Maine was in 2012. I remember at the time thinking there was a different color cast to them.

Those are some great wildlife photos! The ones with greater contrast did, for better or worse, grab me the most. Thanks for posting them.
Thanks !
