European Bison head on approach

[Andreas Liedmann]

Hi folks
just another frame of my Bison images i have taken in feb this year in the Netherlands .
This guy came along the path as an individual , being separated from the herd .
I cropped it to have more space in the FG and less in the BG , to give him room to walk into ....

Canon EOS 1Dx II
EF 200-400 IS L at 400 mm
HH standing upright

F 6,3 ; Iso 3200 ; 1/2000 sec

Processed with DPP 4.6 and PS CC 2017 , cropped for comp from all sides .

Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous posting .

Cheers Andreas

Andreas,your image makes me ask one question..... what happened next? I know not these incredible animals so would like to know how this situation continued, As always the most wonderful execution, beautiful detail, wonderful framing and crop. it may well be my favoutie of your bison images,there is something so special about an animal coming straight towards the guy/gal making an image with a low POV I find these shots beguiling

Cheers for sharing mate it's really cool this one, I have to know the story though

take care

I think I have used most of my superlatives up on your bisons Andreas and this is no exception either. The beautiful colours and the composition along with the fine detail make this a winner for me.

Hi Andreas -- This is so nicely done , great low POV and some lovely fine details coming in. Lovely light as well to go with. Very nicely done. I am just 50 -50 on that Lrc mound , a bit eye catching .

TFS !

Hi Andreas - This just works on all levels. Beautiful tones, nice walking pose and I like the slightly downhill pov. I hope there was room for you to move off to the side. It doesn't look like he was too interested in sharing the path. Nice one.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks so much folks for your kind comments , glad you like this one .

Haseeb will take a look at the LRC....and might throw out the green stuff

Stu - well nothing really exciting happened , i simply moved out of the way when the Bison came too close for my comfort , plenty of space to escape .As the Bison was relaxed .....i was relaxed too .The Bisons has been very relaxed with my presence , never got into trouble .

Thanks again Andreas

Andreas it's the lovely softness and texture of the fur/hair on your images that make me a bit envious ,this animal looks really doleful but I bet there not when angry,everything works perfectly for me.

Wow, impressive and majestic animal. I really like the way the path chanels your eyes towards the main subject, not to mention its relaxed gait and look. That blade of grass in the corner of his mouth just adds to the relaxed mood of the picture. A gentle giant.

Superb image Andreas!

Love everything about this. Technically impeccable - beautifully exposed and superb PP work. Really nice POV.

Err...I actually like the green stuff, Boet!

In terms of framing/ comp, I totally agree with Dan's comments above... he took the words from my mouth:)

So a great image all in all, congratulations my friend

Kind regards,

[Andreas Liedmann]

Thanks Keith , Dan and Gabriela for your comments , much appreciated .
