    Nicely offset against the snow, Dale. Love the flying snow beneath this brute's hooves.
    Expertly exposed and composed. I even like the branch in front of him as it gives the eye something else to anchor and scale to.

    Lovely composition and movement and I like the effect it gives. I wonder if it's missing a little sharpness on the coat, and especially the face of the bison....?

    Hi Dale - nicely exposed and composed. These big guys can move pretty fast and the kicked up snow conveys that. It all works.

    TFS,

    What an amazing place Yellowstone is! Dale, great capture of this majestic animal, well exposed and composed/presented image, looks sharp enough for me, perhaps only the eye could use another round of sharpening, just a tad

    Kind regards,

    Hi Dale,

    I only can agree with all others above. Very nice done. Also agree with Edward on the sharpness of it's face!

    Have a great eve

    Hi Robert,
    like speed in the frame,nicely composed with good tones in the bison , sharpness is fine for me.
    I would tone down the snow , there is detail you can extract without looking greyed out.

    Would like to comment on color, but image has no profile embedded, so looking off when opened in PS.

    TFS Andreas
