I'm just curious, but how many shots did it take to get it right? I like the finished result. This is how to deal with the challenge directly! nice job

Too bad we can't have control over Mother Nature and always have blue skies and fluffy clouds. I like the composition including the wake of the boat.

Critique Club feedback:

You've captured a very nice wildlife scene here. The aperture selection works well to focus the eye onto the moose. The blurred out leaves in the foreground on the right side are a bit of a distraction, as they don't actually frame the subject and add no real interest to the overall shot.

Composition is well done, taking heed of the Rule of Thirds.

Free Studies tend to be very demanding in terms of delivering a heavy dose of glitz to the voter. While this image may pop a bit more with a tighter crop and playing with the contrast between subject and the rest of the scene, it's placement would likely not radically change compared to the rest of the entries in the challenge.

Nice work!

great colours and exposure, maby kicking up the saturation a touch would help it a tad, seems at least half the voters like the colours to pop even if its not so true to life :) nice work...
