I can't beilieve how you capture such great photos of your subjects. I love the contrast of the dark buffalo and the crisp white snow with the soft looking sprigs of grass.

Comment from Shade
Low this is a great shot of a majestic animal. All tech aspects are spot on as usual. I feel that the attention to detail you normally have in your compositions is a little shy here. Perhaps if you had a tad more seperation between the buffalo and an angle that hid the ear ID tag this would have been perfect.

Thank you very much Shade!! I was pretty intimidated by the big boy 'cause I wasn't getting that 'lovin' feeling' as he continued to walk right towards me--

I like this image, Deb. It is a little dark on the faces of these creatures but I can see their eyes just the same. I am not deducting a star. The photograph's merits outweigh that. I have found that you can meter off the darker part of wildlife and then open up a stop and get good image. If you have a camera that has exposure compensation in 1/3 rd increments, do it in 1/3 rd increments.

Thank you very much Paul!! Yep, my camera has exposure compensation in 1/3 rds. If I catch them this close again I will do that! Thanks!!

Love it! You've captured the power and majesty of the wonderful beasts.
The image is so clearly defined you make me feel the baroness of the location.

Comment from RUBY REDWINE
Good morning LowRider, this is a REALLY REALLY interesting photograph. Is that snow on the ground or is it white sand? It really makes the black color of the Buffalo stand out. The color of the blue sky and the few green trees in the background add to the beauty of this work. VERY WELL DONE.

Comment from MaureenS
I've been looking at this picture trying to decide whether it would be improved by more light and detail in the faces. That would be a more traditional shot, and would certainly look excellent. However, the dark outline of the faces and legs creates a more artistic rendition of the animals. They look slightly surrealistic and more dramatic. To me this looks like a painting of the bison, rather than a technical depiction of them. I like it better this way!

Comment from poster puppy
Very nice shot of the two of them. The one is looking right at you. I like the angle you shot it from. Their faces are just a little dark. But still very nice Not sure if I want to get to close

Comment from ajpierro
Beautifully composed shot. While the areas around the face are a little to dark, I think it adds to their mystery. How far were you away when you took this? Hopefully it was a good distance because it appears you are getting the "evil eye" !

Thank you very much aj!! I was a bit too close for comfort as I was quite intimidated because they kept approaching, this was about 20 ft, I was wanting to get a nice head shot, but decided not to press my luck, there seemed to be a 'charge' in the air.
