Yak

The Black Mountain range in Bhutan served as a nice background for this yak. It was one of two that were seen below the tree line as they much prefer colder temps. You can see a small village in the lower left in the valley below. Olympus E-M1 and 12-100 lens at 1/160, f/7.1 and ISO 64. Richard

Great BG for this yak image! I like how the yak is looking at you. Good details in the black coat of the animal. Thanks for sharing.

Unique and wonderful image Richard. When I first look at it, I think this must be the Colorado rockies, but to see a yak up there gave me a very fun double-take, realizing this is actually Bhutan. Very amusing.

Love this shot. Great comp. I might suggest that you clone out the underbrush beneath the Yak to make it stand out more.
