    Hi Jon - I like the simplicity of the image and the techs look good. Tones, color and detail also look good. I am guessing that it wasn't possible to get a lower pov due to the terrain. I do wish that the it was entirely grass without the tips of brush at the bottom of the frame but cropping them out makes it too tight at the bottom. Another image that shows the difference between being in the area in the spring/early summer vs. late summer/fall. When I've been there the bison calves still have their red coats.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Jon -- Lovely scene here , with nice details and colours. I too wish for more space the bottom but then if it was not possible then IMO why not to crop from the top for better balance to the whole frame . Nice moment though !

    TFS !

    Thanks Rachel, Haseeb, I couldn't go lower due to the plants in the foreground, cropping the top off works, I think I have become a bit of a slave to the crop preview!

    Lovely image, tender moment captured. I had a go at removing the bushes at the bottom using the Patch Tool in Photoshop CC. I apologize for removing your copyright along with the bush. Here is the result if your are inclined to do so.

    Hi Jon a very nice simple and very clean shot , of this moment when the no longer sweet calf is having a drink .
    Like the contrast between the yellow grass and the reddish/brown Bisons , well handled tonality with loads of detail in the Bisons , very well processed Jon
    Are you still going with DPP .... or have you swapped to LR ?
    I would just loose some of the top .... too much of dead space , from my POV .
    Keep them coming from that trip .
    TFS Andreas

    Thanks very much everyone for you comments and the rework Joe.
    Andreas I have ben using ACR and DPP. I prefer the algorithms in ACR but I think the images are cleaner and in most cases more finely detailed in DPP
