Saw this huge muscular bull Moose in Fishercap Lake off Swiftcurrent Pass in Glacier National Park. I was especially excited because it was my first bull moose since started wildlife photography. Glad to finally have something to add to my life list .
Critique and comment are welcome.

They are four great pictures, all of them keepers, well done, me Jealous never

Awesome series! Excellant camera work! The movement of the water dripping off the face and around the feet add a lot of character to the images.

Great moose shots from your 500mm!

Excellent shots....well done...

A really excellent set ... I would love to have the opportunity to at least see these magnificent beasts, a beautiful set, well done.

Great bunch of shots. Very impressive animal !

Same thing I was thinking ..

He almost seems like he is smiling in the last picture.

As for what is under its chin, it is called a dewlap and it is just a flap that grows hair and is present on both male and females, though it is usually more pronounced on males.

Fee, these are some of the best moose photos I've seen. Great work.

Nice! Seeing wild moose is on my bucket list. Missed them last time I was in Alaska.

Awesome captures, specially for your first time. I wonder why or what it turned to look at in #4. KUDOS to you.

Great pictures, I agree with the others, some of the best of a bull moose in the wild that I've seen.

Which lens did you use? You noted 500mm

It's called a bell. Nobody knows what it's for for sure, they think to spread scent around although it doesn't have a gland in it.

That's not huge. That would be gynormous!

Wonderful series.
