Meet Millie the Moderately Moist Moose

[Steve Foss]

It was darn near as dark as sundown and the air was full of rain this morning when I came up over a rise on the Tomahawk to find the big black blob in the road. She dove down into this swamp and, of course, paused to look back a few times before fading away for good.

Great stuff Steve... Doesnt look dark though.

[Steve Foss]

Thanks, Deitz. That's the camera's meter at work, exposing the image more brightly than the ambient light, plus a little more brightening in post processing.

Hey! You found the one that is left! Good job! Like the title, too.

[Quetico]

Steve those are really beautiful pics. That bottom shot would look awesome framed.

[Steve Foss]

Thanks, folks. Quetico, the bottom one is not sharp because of the rain. Shame the rain wasn't backlit so it would show. I may work some texturing into it in photoshop to make it look a bit like a watercolor.

Ken, the title was all for you, buddy!

There's just no slowing you down lately. I sure hope that's not the last remaining moose in the area. It's a shame that they are getting so rare. But, leave it to you to run across one.

I really like the second shot, as you can see him watching you, out of the corner of his eye.

You're going to run out of wall space pretty soon, if you keep this up.

That first one is sweet, Steve! That would be fun chasing these guys around.

[Dbl]

I like that second shot Steve, that look or air about her says "go ahead I dare you to take my picture".

[DMN]

I also like the second one, the side profile of a mooses nose is something I can't get over.

[MARINERMAGNUM]

1ST one is real nice. Like a painting.

[yakfisher]

I also like how she is looking at you out of the corner of her eye in the second one.

[DeeDee]

I like to look she's giving you in the second one.
