#1 is so cool... Perhaps it is my monitor, but the haze in the upper left leaves a faint trace of a face looking there. Fantastic.... Let me know if you see it there as well.
#2. Majestic.
#3. Didn't work as well for me. The right side (as I look) of the Bison's face merges into the grass a bit too much for my taste.
#4. Wonderful. I think the reason the grass to hair-highlight doesn't bother me here is that the shape of the head remains fully in tact.

Thanks Andrew.
Try as I may, I can't put a face in the haze
I'll agree also on #3 & #4 for that matter. They're not great images, but I included them to add some context.
This is a very large ranch in Colorado & they have a huge (several hundred head) herd of buffalo. It always stops me in my tracks to see them as pictured. This is a scene that countless Native Americans must have seen & counted on for their way of life.
Standing there taking in the view transports me back in time.
Buffalos are such awesome animals.....big and thunderous are the two words I alway think of when I see them. Wouldn't if have been wonderful to see 1000's of them roaming the prairie long ago
Oh yeah...#1 is my favorite. So is the last one. I might clip the grass alittle by the eye tho. Very good photos

It sure is nice to see the American Bison in it's native habitat. I saw one the other day at a nature preserve near here. They are quite an impressive animal.
#1 works best for me except that I suggest less foreground is needed. A 6 x 4 crop, full width and retain the top, seems to work nicely. I think the broader aspect ratio also yields a better feeling of expansiveness. I love how the mountains provide both framing and setting.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome to see the hundreds of buffalo all scattered along the mountains

And don't forget ~ quite mean tempered too! I've seen them chase motorcycles in Yellowstone. That would get your attention

I bet this looks good printed large.
I'll give that crop a try, thanks for the suggestion Ziggy

Andrew,
I was holding out hope for you, but I'm sending some cards with ink splotches and a nice friendly doctors name
I'll give that crop a try, thanks for the suggestion Ziggy
