The sharpness of this bull stands out very well in the larger view, Jerry. The soft light shows lets the details in his fur show well while the warm, coordinating colors in his surroundings contribute nicely.

Another really nice bison pic Jerry. Your lighting and colors are very pleasing and warm.

The range of brown tones and the light are quite pleasing in this one.

Depth of field control is admirable and processing is very good. My only thought is that a little more space around might have been even better, but this is certainly not a nit.

Very nice capture of this buffalo, Jerry! Excellent exposure with great detail in the shadows and the aperture was just right, keeping good detail in the buffalo throughout yet nicely isolating it from the background.
