Well, that's an extraordinary view isn't it? He's definitely bugling, too :-) The eyes are fantastic. Works fine with the book.

I'll give it a 7.

Alright, so my take on the photo.

I can see some literal translations in this photo...
One obviously the animal is calling...and it is wild. Got it.
Now for the stretch...the dog's name is Buck. I guess this animal would be a Buck if that is how they name the male.

The image is just ok to me. It doesn't really make me feel anything. The whites on the body would be better if there was more contrast. I would also like to see more detail in the horns. It looks like they have great texture.

Gave it a 3

Interesting angle. The composition is low-energy, cropped close to the subject but not quite touching the edge except for the bottom. 4

such a great title here, most endearing image
I see no reason for diminishing the vastness of the image by a border

I think the angle of this shot throws it off for me. There is a good clarity here, the title is very fitting... but the straight-on approach to his face makes him look awkward. Gave it a 5

Nice enough cameo by the moose (or elk? I don't know), not really up on my moose etiquette enough to know what's going on, but I'll take your (and its') word on it. Composition is interesting enough, maybe a little crop off the right side. 5.

Nice capture, with great detail. Eyes seem a touch overprocessed and unnatural to me? Nonetheless, great picture and timing!

An ugly image, very unappealing, a bit too central.6.
