Rachel,
Love the idea here but would like to offer a few suggestions. We had some rather flat light to work with and a bright overcast sky which presented problems for wider views. If you were going with some sky in the image zooming out a bit more (EXIF shows you at 135mm so you had some room) to include the top of the peak in the UR would have helped. I think the sky could have been dramatized a bit in post. Zooming in a bit to take the sky away completely would have worked as well. Habitat is shown well in the image and I like the composition of the bison with a strong diagonal.

Hi Rachel. This is a beautiful scene. I love the mountains and the FG with those bisons grazing. Nicely composed and superb colours.

Nice scene here Rachel, I like Dale's suggestion of zooming a tad closer here with the flat sky.
Colours and contrast look well handled.

Thanks Dale, Sanjeev and Morkel. much appreciated. Yes, cropping from the top or zooming in more in the field were options here and I actually looked at a crop from the top. I didn't like it as much because if I crop out the sky, then I lose most of the undulations of the mountains. I do regret clipping the peak on the right.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Dearest Rachel,
I love your animalscapes, I so wish I had some of my own...I now realise that most of my images are portraits of animals and I should use my other lenses more, I am attached to that 500 but this will change:)
I like the placement of the subjects in the frame and that vast BG is just awesome...I was going to suggest cropping a bit more from the top but I like it more as is - as you yourself said, those mountain tops complete the image so well, I would not want to lose them. What a tranquil scene, love to see so much of the environment and the colours look well balanced to me, so is the sharpening and detail. Mmm...wish I was there too
Warmest regards,

Thanks Gabriela. Yellowstone is so vast and the distances to the animals are often so great that you could create animalscapes even with your surgically attached 500.
Thanks again,
Rachel

I think it is a magic place, and it all comes through in your images, as well as Dale's.
Amazing landscape. I still have to convince Andre to face the snow...
Let us see more if you have, Rachel. So different from what I am accustomed to seeing on my trips, and I like those images as much as I liked the polar bear ones.
Have a wonderful evening, hope you have time to look through those folders again:)

HI Rachel very nice overall frame with good colors and lovely overall tones and contrast . I would just loose the sky part to get a cleaner top of the image. I would have preferred the left Bison not being in the frame ........ or lifting his head , but that was out of your control so no big deal.

Hi Rachel, any frames further on where the LH Bison has it's head clear of the vegetation (not eating), but with a similar perspective?

Thanks Steve, unfortunately none with the one on the left in the clear or head raised. For the most part, bison walk while grazing. I was lucky to get the one on the right with its head raised.
Thanks again,
Rachel
