Here is my photo of a Musk Ox family in the wind on Anvil Mountain, near Nome, AK. I rotated the image slightly based on the out of focus beach in the lower left background and darkened the sky, as suggested by the moderator. I hope this helped. Thank you for looking!

Thanks for posting the edited image! I didn't notice the beach, was looking at the animals regarding the tilt, but that did the trick on the rotation. The darker sky makes a prettier image, at least to my eye. Very nice.

Lovely shot Bob. I have always wanted to photograph this species as these are such a uniquely beautiful large mammal. The composition, position of adult heads and protected baby makes for a really nice image

I like this - shows the family group really well. Look like it was quite a windy day!

The slightly darker sky certainly gives a better backdrop Bob, and having a leg at each corner must be a bonus when keeping your balance against the mountain top winds!

The little calf is too sweet, and I love the way its making the most of the windbreak provided.
