For a Buffalo quite a nice pose.

Ken,

I like the pose of the buffalo and the light conditions. Technically also great, but we are used to that from you enlightened

For a presentation here in the forum I may have chosen for a vertical crop to let it look more portrait alike.

I like the way the lighting sets off the animal from the dark background and the fine detail. A nice image.

This is another great shot Ken. I love the buffalo emerging from the dark shadows into the light. I has a somewhat pastoral, peaceful, yet don't mess with me look.

The lighting on this one works quite well for me - the detail on the head (and nose) is nicely enhanced by the darker background. On my monitor the image looks a tad over-sharpened by this is something that is easily remedied.

Cheers...

Brad
