Now that looks like one miserable buffalo! Perfect for this theme and a superb photo, Lon! I love the detail in this and the exposure is perfect.

Tha ambiance of cold and survival is strong in this photo. Magnificent bull has been put against the elements and he is winning.

The snow flakes between the animal and the camera also add a lot. Nice composition with the lines of the horizon and placement of the beast.

I like it a lot.

This "snow-packed" buffalo was certainly my choice for the theme.
Congrats.
