Very nice image and setting !!!! I like the yellow at the top seems to give another dimension to the image!!! The position of both is great!!!

Would have gone with a higher ISO and gotten faster shutter speed!!!! Working at 1/20 did not allow you to have all the sharpness that would have been possible !!!

Good one Ross !!!! Thanks for posting !!!!!

Very nice pose and alert look. Only nit is the softness.

Moose in ND?? I've got to think this is a bit unusual. Looks like they're both keenly interested in you with those upright ears.

One of the best things about digital is the option to change the ISO every frame if needed. I recently switched to a digital body and that was one of the main selling points. Over the years one of leading reasons for tossing slides was too slow of a shutter. Now I tend to shoot with a higher ISO- better some grain than some blur IMO.

Definitely too soft--which is too bad, because otherwise this would be great!

It's also too big according to the guidelines (650 pixels on the long side, or 800 on the long side if the short side is under 400).

Love the symmetrical looks right at you and the bits of wildflowers adds a lot.

Love the alert pose of both adult and calf Ross, as already mentioned, this would be excellent if it was sharper.
