Scenic Grazing

Moose grazing on early Spring grasses with the Alaska Chugach Mountain Range behind them. This is a multi-purpose image. I posted it in the Weekly Challenge gallery for the “Subject Small in the Frame” category and in the Landscape gallery for obvious reasons so I thought I might as well post it here as it’s definitely about wildlife!

When I saw them near the side of the road, my first impulse was to grab the big lens and shoot close-ups but then it dawned on me that the landscape in the background was pretty great also so I grabbed the camera with the wide angle lens and took this shot.

This appears to be pristine landscape with sweeping vistas and Moose are really adding to it.
IMHO, I would have loved to see more of the RHS mountain, the 50:50 ratio of the mountains is somehow not working in a perfect manner or it could be vice versa.
I would also prefer to crop out the tree on the RHS edge.
