Saw this Bison on the Pala Indian Reservation going up to the Julian area. Just had to take a few shots. Did B&W for old west feel, and because color didn't look right for some reason. Was not sure on how to crop, but it is almost FF here.

Nice up close look at this guy Brendan. Crop wise I know a square crop is not everyones cup of tea but I think in this image it makes it stronger. Exposure and sharpness look pretty good. You might look at a duotone or sepia tone as well.

Like square crop idea and reposted my suggestion here. What you need is a reverse s-curve (less contrast not more to better separate the darker tones in the image). See my tutorial here which includes reverse s-curve. I also sharpened the image and masked out the grass as it looked too sharp.
Thanks feedback folks, and thanks Robert for pointing me to your tutorial. I can see by your re-post what you mean. I will check it out and work on it.
