I like everything about this image.  The light is great, a nice golden glow, the position of the 2 buffalo drinking, as well as the OOF one in the BG.  Details are great, all those flying bugs around the buffalo.  Thanks for sharing.

I really like this intimate shot of these two Buffalo, Charles!  The light is excellent  and they are both very sharp with great eye detail.  Very nicely captured!
