Taken in Denali NP pre-digital. Waited over an hour for this big boy to get up, but all he did was shift his large antlers from one side to the other.

I like your decision to go with a pano view, although a bit more of the red at the bottom would be nice if you have it in your original. The shadow across the eye isn't ideal, reducing the contrast a bit and substitution with a little more sharpening would be my approach, but I'm a self-taught hack when it comes to the black art of photoshopping. I don't mind the resting pose, they have to lay down sometimes too. :smile:

This is a cool moose, but I am perplexed by the close cropping choice...
