Bison In The Mist
This one is for lovers of Yellowstone National Park (you know who you are), where this image was captured. I have tried many different effects for this one and decided that the b&w is my favorite.
Several filters used, including Topaz Detail, Nik Color Efex Pro, and some PS CS4 adjustment layers.

I'm not a black and white guy, but I love it with this image. Love the effect the mist gives. I think it might look better with the right side cropped a little, centering the buffalo perfectly in the middle, not sure why. I don't usually like the dead center but I think this one needs it. Nice job.

Kerry, I like the effect you applied and I think you did a great job presenting it. The only little thing I could suggest is maybe make the transition area a little more blended in the left bottom area of the Bison. Nice work and I am definitely one of those Yellowstone lovers. This is an awesome image and a great look for it!!:)
I love this, Kerry! :) I've never been to Yellowstone so I can't qualify as a Yellowstone lover, but I hope someday maybe. Awesome mist effect, and the B&W is simply super. Love all the detail in the bison. Very nice work!!!
This is a splendid end product! The face is so sharp and the details just jump at me. I don't see much B&W work and that is a real delight to see.
Kerry, I can only echo the comments above - beautiful work! Not sure that I would want to find one of these looming at me through the mist though :D
Way to go Kerry nice job of PP... nice image, the hair detail is super
Kerry, I love this in B&W with the mist and just a hint of background. Beautiful image:)

Kerry, The base image looks great but what you did to it is awesome!! I like the black and white.
Wicked and mystical. Would love a bit more fur detail revealed on the chin and below it.

Kerry, It does look better.:)
Way better. I would still go for a bit more detail in the tips of the horns and the bottom of the buffalo-tee :) (i.e., the buffalo's goatee)
