The Boss

from $275.00

Algonquin Park, Ontario. When a moose stands in a pond and stares at you, the name for the image becomes obvious. This is the boss of this territory, and he knows it.

I found this moose standing in a still pond at the edge of the forest. Moose sightings in Algonquin are never guaranteed — they're common enough that you'll likely see one if you spend a few days in the park, but rare enough that each encounter feels like a gift. I stopped and watched. Since moose are deceptively fast and can be dangerous if they feel threatened. I kept my distance, letting him go about his business while I documented. The forest edge behind him provides context — this is his world, and I'm just a visitor passing through.

What I love about this image is his posture. No fear, no aggression, just calm assessment. He's been the biggest thing in his environment for years, and he carries himself with that assurance.

Limited edition Chromaluxe metal print. Ultra gloss finish brings out the detail in his coat and the reflection of trees in the still water. Wildlife photography from Algonquin for those who respect what wanders there.
