A story of survival in harsh winter Yellowstone. This bison and her calf were separated from the herd making the hard journey on their own.

Sid,
Marvelous capture here, raised feet add a lot.
I wonder if it maybe possible to lighten the head of Mum just a tad?

Beautiful complimentary mountain scenery and lighting here Sid, agree on a touch more light on mum's head if possible?

You're right Sid, it does show the harsh winter conditions of YNP and this is a winter with very low snow cover. I do wish the fence was not there.

An excellent example Sid in shooting wide, love it.
Good depth of detail, colour and I really like the way you have used the backdrop to create the layers, depth and space in the image. Having the trees casting a shadow across the path of the two is a nice touch and good vision on your behalf. Just wonder if the whole crop should move up a fraction, just to give a little more space between the peak and the trim of the image?
Congrats on an excellent image.

Strong composition here and beautiful colours. I'm not to fond of the fence in the background though.

Agree with Steve, very nice, except for fence. (Of course the fence could be cloned out).
And perhaps would prefer the light direction from 3/4 front, rather than 3/4 rear?

Sid,
Some shadow/highlight adjustment on the lower 35% dark tones will make a world of difference on the dark tones on the buff. I am good with the top crop, otherwise I agree with Steve's assessment.

Sid - I really like the layers of rolling mountains and hills in the bg. Nice exp and placement of the bisons in frame. I also wish the fence wasn't there.

Nice environment photo, Sid, I, too, like the wide angle.

Love the light and the scenic BG here Sid. Hope they found the herd as winter survival up there is tough enough.

Fabulous setting here, Sid, and love the light on them. Also not crazy about the fence...but knowing you there was no other way to frame this without including it?
I too think there might be some latent detail in mom's head that can be extracted.

Thanks Ken. Yes, valuable suggestion. I should put little more light on mum's face.Originally Posted by Ken Watkins

Thanks Andrew. aesthetically, fence is kind of deal breaker in this image.

Steve,
Completely agree with you. Unfortunately, there is no more space on the top of the frame. At one point I even thought of cropping a bit off of the peak for same reason. Lessons learned I guess. Next time.

Interesting seeing the orange calf and the fresh snow.... All good except the dreaded research fence...........
03-20-2012, 01:49 PM
At least they don't have to collar the fence in order to find it.I can't help but wonder how much research is necessary to understand wildlife & fences.

Andrew,At least they don't have to collar the fence in order to find it.
I will post a picture of total B*S* research attempt to night.

That's cool Sid. I will look forward to it.

This has to be both the funniest and truest comments I have ever seen here, very well done.
