What technical feedback would you like if any? I’m looking for some technical feedback to help future photographs (too grainy, too dark, just right, etc.)

What artistic feedback would you like if any? I’m looking for some feedback on composition, or other ways the image could have been shot.

Pertinent technical details or techniques: f/6.3, 1/320 sec, ISO 800, 600mm

(If this is a composite, etc. please be honest with your techniques to help others learn)

Hi Michael !
Welcome to NPN !
I like the side pose of Moose, with front foot in the water, but find the blacks in the Moose quite high, there is blue cast in the dark shadows.
What puzzles me that grasses are looking normal despite the dark blue / black shadows.
