This is awesome EJ, I really like the close up detail on this guy, yet a wonderful scenic on its own... Excellent.

Great over all image as usual... I like that the depth of field is so wide to keep the BG (environment) in the image as well.

I like the placement of the bison and the scenery is just gorgeous. There's incredible detail in the face.

Wow, he looks huge! Sure wouldn't want to piss him off. I like the chunky look were he's shed parts of his winter coat.

I always thought that bison have a "half asleep" look to them when shot full frame so this wider view is terrific. Great shot as usual.

Hey EJ,

This is nice, but I'd like for the horizon line to not cut so close to his eye and horn .. either higher or lower would make a more comfortable image, IMO. Maybe if you'd shot froma lower perspective, it wouldn't be quite so distracting, and also might have made the expanse of grass a little less dominant in the composition. I love the idea here though.

Cheers

Carl

Great subject and BG E.J. Excellent detail to bring out the eye so well and lovely shot to include the stunning landscape.
