Gerald, I like the color, light and detail in this and the light in the eye is very nice. I think a little more space at the top of the image, if you have it, would be great.

This is a nice bull and he might present even stronger with a little more space around. I feel you have a bit of a white balance issue, giving a magenta cast, which is easily tweaked in post processing.

Gerald,
I like the very visible eye in this! and the slightly "hidden" view.
I agree with Lon that the white balance is slightly off, easily fixed.

Lovely shot of this big fellow. It is a real plus that you can see his eye really well. That is not easy with bison. I also think something is not quite right with the color balance. I took the liberty of tweaking the white balance a bit. Hope you don't mind.

Jerry did a good job, however it just needs the Blue addressing now, once that is done you are all set. Just look at the horn, but also the rest of the capture improves.

How much of a crop is this Gerald, or is this Full frame? Like the contrast between the Bison's coat & the vegetation.
