Please view in shadowbox.

For me, this was one of those once in a lifetime experiences when everything came together for a magical morning.  I had mist over the water, the sun rising behind me, and a very tolerant, wild bull moose.

I got a lot of images that morning, with different poses and levels of mist.  This was one of my favorites, with the head turn, stepping forward and thick mist.  The sun had barely crested the horizon, but the scene was still quite dark and murky.

Very nice Chris; I miss that place. Still tempted to do an antler search up there in a couple of weeks.

Thank you everyone for your comments! @ Bob: Would be nice to see this guy in bone. I hope he survives the hunt!

Oh yes, he will be great in bone..I would love to see him in September when I get up there, but I think this
area that you photographed him is the "Secret Spot", so I will need to track down some different bulls..I am sure if he is in a hunt-able area, some locals have been eyeing him..and guides, also...Again very nice photo and hope to see more posted..
