23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Cow Moose and Calf 1

While on a photo expedition through Glacier National Park in Montana, I came upon this Cow Moose and her Calf eating in Fishercap Lake as the sun was getting low in the sky. We were there to shoot the sunset over the lake, and so I didn't have my usual wildlife lens (200-500mm f/5.6); but when the opportunity arose to get this shot, I used a 100-400mm f/4-6.3 lens. It just enhances the theory of seeing what you not expecting; but adapting to the situation.
