"Crowned in Gold"

By: Christopher Johnson (Park Hill, OK)

A mature bull moose moves through an autumn woodland as warm sunlight filters between the trees in Grand Teton National Park. The low-angle light illuminates his enormous antlers with a brilliant golden glow, contrasting against his dark coat and the cooler shadows of the surrounding vegetation. For a brief moment, the forest comes alive with color, transforming this powerful animal into a striking silhouette of the autumn wilderness.
