Well done Jack. Excellent pose with turn back to camera and you did well getting him out in the open, in the water. Could use a titch more contrast in PS and maybe slightly more USM for my taste, but otherwise excellent. Thanks for posting here..

Excellent looking back pose. I like how you left room for the virtual feet. I agree with Dennis' post processing suggestions.

Very nice!!

Ditto here. I know moose can be a challenge at times.
Cool.

Impressive bull, and the backward glance and composition are great. I'd add some contrast, brighten the eye, and sharpen a bit, and then print it big.

Great shot. Good timing on the pose. You did a great job on the exposure- good detail in both the hair and antlers.
