I've always liked buffalo, someday I'm going to have some. I'm liking the strong dark shape of the buffalo amongst the sea of new green grass. Placing him in the thirds position facing into the frame also helps.

Perfectly composed and I like how the bison's back mimicks the distant hills. I'll bet I see this one in a calendar soon. :smile:

Brad, I really like your compostion and colors in this shot. It makes me think of the movie, "Dances with Wolves"

A very fine photograph! Great colors and highlights on the Bison. A very well-balanced composition. Most of all: It just looks right! Four stars!

I agree with what everyone else has said, great composition and lighting. It is really nice to see the grass greening up.

Great shot, Brad! Love the springey colors and the composition. Looks like that buffalo is having himself a great dinner on that new grass!

Nothing much I can add. Like every one else has commented, the composition is perfect. Excellent job!

Perfect shot Brad, I always love seeing the bison out on the prairie.
