Captures a moose standing in a shallow mountain pond, apparently just after dipping its muzzle into the water. The streams and droplets falling from its mouth freeze a brief moment of natural behavior. The small developing antlers suggest this is likely a young bull moose. Its dark, wet coat contrasts beautifully with the intense greens surrounding the pond, while the darker water creates a partial reflection beneath the animal. What makes the photograph work especially well is the sense that you're observing rather than interrupting. The foreground vegetation naturally frames the moose, giving the scene a secluded, almost hidden quality.
