Pika
Captured some more pika images. Wanted to get some with plant material in their mouth and show the changing tundra. Got these at Rocky. Pretty crazy up there today!

And one moose. Not sure if I am happy with this one.

Dan, #2 pika is excellent. #1 seems a little busy for me. The moose doesn't really do much for me, maybe if it was more of a side shot.

Thanks Mike! Was not sure of the moose image myself.

Awesome images, Dan! I really like # 1. I like your moose pic. I would love to get a shot of a moose, any kind of shot LOL.

If you're not happy w/the moose shot, I'd be happy to take it off your hands and claim it as my own.

I like all three of these very much. Thanks for posting! :smile:

That first one is great!

#1 is a great environmental shot

Nice stuff, Dan. I think the moose shot works as an environmental image. As a photographer, you're probably just being too critical of your own work. Just like the rest of us. :smile:

All 3 are great, but #1 is a prize winner for sure! :toast:

Thanks for the comments. Sometimes it is nice to get some different views.

Yeah, you're being to critical of the moose IMO. I think it's a nice capture.

Ok.... I am just going to have to relieve you of that lens dude! :biggrin: These are awesome, even the moose. Thanks for sharing.

The pika images are unique (to me) and superb.
And yeah, I like the moose shot because I never see them myself.
A great day for you!

Nice mice Dan (actually they are rabbits I guess), takes a lot of patience to get those shots.

I like all 3, Dan. Definitely keep the moose, it has action and good eye contact. The stretching tells a story. Like Todd said, I'd be happy to take it off your hands too! That first pike shot reminds me of some old time baseball photos showing players with chewing tobacco distending their cheeks, funny stuff!

I like all 3, too, and the first and last are very special, I think.
