Taken in Alaska a week & a half ago. A very handsome set of twins enjoying their first fall. The colours were amazing, and amount of moose around was mind-blowing compared to what we've ever seen here in the central interior of BC. Makes me want to move to southcentral Alaska!

20D, 70-200mm IS lens @ 200mm, 1/160, f/5.6, ISO 400

Thanks Tim! :)

Wow, that looks great. Nice alert poses, good eye contact, very sharp, and good fall color in the BG. Love it!

Very nice Pete. This is a very cute couple of twins in a very attractive, inquisitive pose. I really like the addition of the fall colors. Nicely done.

Excellent moose shot! I love it!

It does seem to be leaning a bit to the right, but I'm not sure if that's an optical illusion due to the hill.

Its rare to see a Moose image that has such a cuteness factor as this one Pete! Add to that the fact that this is an excellent shot with great composition and gorgeous colours - and you have a real winner! Love it!

Love everything about this one, from the moose eyelashes to the wonderful colors in the background.

:) A most excellent image Pete. Nice colors and they're arranged very well considering they spent little time next to each other.

It was fun to meet you and Carol. I'm glad we hooked up and got to do a bit of shooting.

Hope to see you in the not too distant future.

Great pose! Seldom do they arrange themselves this nicely as Tim mentioned. They sure look like they've packed on good weight for the upcoming winter. Thanks for sharing! :)
