Yellowstone bisonscape

[D. Robert Franz]

From last week. Went with a animalscape here. Not sure what I think about it. Placed the bison on the upper golden mean line and hoped for 3 reflections in the stream but no luck. Tried to balance the comp with the stream on the lower golden mean line.

I feel you nailed the exposure Robert, and the three bison are well placed across the frame. Pity your reflections didnt work out, but hey, there's plenty of other opportunities.

Very surreal image! I like the frost and the fact you caught the reflection of the bison in the river.

still a nice 'animalscape' Robert. I like the icey mood and that you got at least one reflection. I sort of side with Peter on the crop suggestion.

Looked at this one for awhile. I like the parallel lines created by the creek, the land/horizon, and the sky. The bison and their reflections also make a pair of parallel lines I like that cuts across the other line. I also like the fact that the reflections incrementally get smaller, then disappear.
