Just 2 photos of my trip to Sweden...

Yikes. At 50mm, you could reach out and touch that moose. Great shots from what I'd imagine was a great trip.

The weird thing is they are not afraid of cars. So as long as you stay in your car they don't run away, which allowed me to get this shot.

I love that moose shot! What a beauty

i had to double take that moose shot because i thought it was a museum

I also love that moose shot!

Those are valid points, unless you only wear them INDOORS, where without breezes and fresh air, the foot odor that builds up can be even more devastating. But the real evidence is here, caught on film. I was able to check your EXIF file and undo all the smoothings and softenings you applied to this image. You've been convicted by your own hobby.

Are these the eyes of aromatic enjoyment? Or the look of someone bonging off of putrid fungal fumes and fermented sweat? Give it up, Izthis! (and maybe get some odor eaters...)

You'll never get away with this! I will hunt you down!!

btw, Awesome Moose!!

Thanks for all your positive comments on the moose shot, but I'm still not completely satisfied with it. I want the picture to be more 'alive', but that's quite hard to achieve with this combination of colors and contrast..

But I'm glad you all like it

The way that sharp moose is emerging from that foggy blurred background!? That's pretty alive, man.

That's true, but still... I don't know... Maybe it's just the screen of my Dell craptop screwing it up

I think if were just bigger it would look more impressive (its rather small on my monitor). If you have lightroom or ACR, maybe using the brush and lightening the moose's left eye a bit would give it the spark you're looking for?

(After I posted this, I tried working on it some. I made it look like Popeye Moose. Sharpening the image destroys the "emerging from the fog mystique" of the original.)
