Can You Help Me

This poor moose was really struggling with the sapling. She looked mildly annoyed, as if she was thinking, stop taking pictures and give me hand.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice capture. I like the included environment. Your techs look really good. So, did you help? :wink:

It's great when you can capture wildlife "doing something", the lowered ears and eyes do suggest she is really working on that brush. I think she has bitten off a bit thicker branch than she can handle! Nice clarity, exposure, colour on the moose and excellent focus on the eyes. :toast:

Ears back, looking straight at you, it appears you are probably right Carey. Good thing you didn't get too close. Still such cool animals. Just love them and this is a great expression you captured.

Certainly looks bothered by something or someone! Nice shot of feeding behavior. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent detail and nice behavior. The exposure is dead on the money. Its just hell working a toothpick when you don't have any hands. :biggrin:

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Jerry, I didn't help, there's a $5000 fine for feeding the animals in the park :biggrin: .

Hello Carey

Like the Interaction with the Moose.
My enjoyment with Wildlife extends to their Interactions and behaviours . I can enjoy just sitting back & watching them , seems at times they know your enjoying their antics and perform for us!
