    Hi all , wonder what you think about that angle of the Bison .
    Herd was moving one after the other over one ridge ....so i stepped ahead , and waited for them to pass me . But they took a slightly different route i expected them to do ....so i had to take another option .
    Image taken in mid afternoon

    Canon EOS 1Dx II
    EF 200-400 IS L at 340 mm
    HH no support

    F 8 ; Iso 10000 ; 1/2500 sec

    Processed with DPP and PS CC 2018 ; a bit of cropping and some added canvas on top of the frame , one sign post removed on RHS .

    Thanks for looking and commenting to my previous thread

    Cheers Andreas

    Hallo Andreas

    Not sure what I like most, your bisons or your seals... I guess both

    Love the image design here as well as this nice 3D feel, perfect DoF by the way. A well exposed and thoughtfully processed image, superb colours and textures and a nice velvety look from this handsome animal. Image quality is great for ISO 10.000.

    This ticks all the boxes for me so I will disappoint you - no nitpicking tonight (much as I would like to).

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Yes please Andreas, I want a seal pup if you have

    I am off tomorrow so hopefully back on BPN. Not sure it is true but someone told me we might have no electricity tomorrow - apparently some maintenance work scheduled by Eskom. And I have a meeting at mid-day, work related

    Chat soon Boetie,

    Seems you can't make any mistakes with these Bison, Andreas. This frame looks excellent. As usual, beautifully rendered tone and colour on the animal and lovely crisp detail. Background and foreground with their muted colours look very good too. Only thing that puzzles me with this shot is the sky fading to white across the bison's back. Not sure what was going on there.

    Hi Andreas - I think the diagonal adds an element of interest and makes the image a bit more unusual. I too see what Glenn sees in the sky and more so noticed it in the fur of the bison. The head and front quarters of the body are richer in tones and have more depth of color than the hind quarters. It may have been that way due to the light but it jumped out at me.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Knock-out at 10k ISO, just a bit too tight on the crop for me, especially as you were shooting with the 200-400.
