This mom and her young calf spent several hours outside our kitchen window. Mom must have been tired and took a long well deserved nap. Carol W

Carol, I really love this shot! The composition is spot on and the high key BG is just right for my taste in this image. Excellent detail in the hair. I guess in a perfect world it would be nice to see the hidden eye, but I would take this as is any day! Love it. Well done! 8) 8) 8) 8) :)

This is very different because of both the pose and the high key background. Excellent work, really like this one...

Thank you all. I got so much pleasure just out of watching the moose. We get them in the yard a lot but this was the first time they stayed so close to the house. Thanks EJ for fixing my post. Carol W

Hi Carol---love this! It appears as a lovely winter card. The detail is so fine and the softer edges in the BG are perfect for the mood.
