Sparring European Bison

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hello folks ,
just a quick one of the two youngsters, having a play fight while on the slow move through the dunes . They came gently over the ridge and then started to push each other ....but more playful than aggressive ....just two little boys .

Hi Andreas, nice locking of horns & action with some nice eye contact. Good colours & details. TFS.

[Steve Kaluski]

Hi Andreas, very nicely processed, love the depth of colour and detail in the capture. Might have been worth popping the 500 & TC on the other body and going for a tighter head shot whilst sparing, as I doubt this was a fleeting moment.

TFS

Thanks Sanjeev and Steve for your kind comments ..much appreciated .

Steve i have to agree with you , the easiest would have been to throw in the ext .... no chance to get the 500 as the lens was some meters away ...resting in the dunes :bg3:.All was happening for a few seconds ....so i just fired a couple of frames .

Cheers Andreas

Hi Andreas - This works quite well with good action and a clear look at them. Love the sort of craziness/intensity of the eyes. The brown on brown tones work well too. Nice one.

TFS,
Rachel

Pretty cool frame like the bulging eye on the left one.

Nothing additional to add here that others haven't already said, but I do like that bulging eye. It sets the mood nicely. Colours, tone and IQ all wonderful here and a novel subject too.

Hi Andreas -- those eyes are terrifying , nicely timed though ! The IQ looks very nice with lovely colours and tones. Definitely a tighter frame would have produced a much appealing frame . Nicely done .

TFS !

Hello Andreas,

Don't know how I missed this, sorry Boetie:)

I really like it, very " alive" and plenty emotion from those eyes, beautifully captured and processed, nice velvety colours and textures, stunning work!!!

Kind regards,
