My Image Your View: Yellowstone Bison in the Morning
Aug 10, 2020 07:35:02 #
Two years ago, my wife and I got an early start to Mammoth and we passed some Bison mixed in with some thermals. I thought it might make a nice image but I forgot to step down a stop to bring out some more detail in the Bison. After I processed it, I kind of liked the silhouette against the thermals in the background. Have fun with it! I downloaded both jpeg and raw file (DNG)

I felt that if this was my picture and going to frame it make the Bison the center of attraction while still having some thermals be part of the picture. With that in mind I went for the 10 x 14 vertical crop.

I have no photo to submit but I do have a question.
Is it just me or does anyone else see in the thermals, another bison facing left with his head down, legs outlined by the thermals and his tail straight out to the right. When the photo first opened up for me I thought THAT was the bison photo. Of course then I saw the real bison just below it.

Nice image to play with. Tried a little different crop. Here's my view.

You may be talking about the giant rock on the right of the photo. From a distance, there is a "bison-look" to this outcropping, and the play of the thermals gives it an animal outline.

Yessir that is exactly what I am seeing. I realized it was a rock but to me even after knowing it was a rock it appeared to have a basic bison shape with a tail going out to the right and the thermals sort of delineate the legs with the head bowed down on the left side. I thought it was pretty coincidental what with a real bison right in front of it. Great photo.

Thank you for the challenge. I'm relatively new to this and am always looking for input to improve.
I also wanted to focus on the Buffalo and my wife liked this composition. I then added the cattle egrets just for the fun of it.
Cheers
