Edwin: that's truly an iconic image! The silhouetted bison agains the rising steam really says Yellowstone. The toning is very well done. Is it possible that you have one with a bit more room at the bottom? Richard

Love this. My only nit is it needs a little more room on the bottom.

Edwin,
What a remarkable image, a tad more room at the bottom would be great

I echo all the comments above!

Some more room at the bottom would improve it tremendously, if you don't have it, create it. !

Edwin, it's wonderful, and very evocative of my favorite place... but I too hope you can include more of the original canvas on the bottom.

What a stunning place, and what a stunning photograph! The placement of the bison is perfect!

Hi Edwin,

Very dramatic, very powerful - nicely done. I often like my subjects well-grounded (low in the frame), but I think having the subject this close to the bottom of the frame tends to work for me only when the subjects are very small in the frame (thus having the setting looking expansive and the subjects appearing as almost an "afterthought"). So...thinking like the others that in the case there's slightly too little room below the bison (I would want only a sliver more myself).

Cheers...

Brad

Really dramatic feel in this one Edwin. Love the choices you made in processing the image. My only nit is I wish for just a smidgeon more room on bottom..just a touch...but still great shot as posted.
