Bison, Yellowstone

Another from our recent Yellowstone jaunt - this lone bison left the small group it was with and crossed the river. I legged it back along the bank and by moving my position relative to the sun I was able to capture this dramatically contrasty image.

looked at this a couple times and it is growing on me, suspect it has to be viewed larger to fully appreciate though

Hey John,

The lighting is such that you can see the fuzziness on the back and chin and the Bison's shadow is amazing. I'd be tempted to crop off the far bank as a preference.
