Is he really sitting down? or just standing on uneven ground with his front legs raised... A very amusing shot whatever the reason Cecil, and I love the droopy ears!

The kayak gives you such an intimate, eye-level perspective here and that warm light couldn't be prettier.

He's going from deep and mucky with his hind legs to a higher sturdier mound with his front legs. For the rap they get Moose are actually pretty agile.

Ah! they are obviously extremely at ease in their environment as well. :D

Really nice lighting in that last 60 seconds, and the position of the moose is a plus. Very nice!

Great light and angle. You get very intimate with moose from the kayak.
