Bison on a cold morning in Yellowstone NP

This guy was slowly walking towards us, we did get back in the car for safety after taking the shot.

Thank you.

I love these High-Key snow shots. A question: Was the sky crappy/gray/flat when you took the shot, or are you doing it in post? Or maybe both? In any even they're top-notch presentations.

Thank you very much. Yes the day was overcast which greatly helps with high-key photography. I also spot meter on the animal to retain detail in the fur and face. This blows out the snow and in post, I'll do some adjusting on the bison to bring out more detail and also add a little ground back around the feet. I love the high-key effect in winter, especially when processing in B&W.

I'm going to give this a shot if we get any more snow, right now we're melted out and it's sunny and 44!

Now let's see, whereinthehell did I leave that bison...?

Haha, too funny, have fun. Looking forward to seeing the images.

That seems like a good idea. Of course, maybe he just wanted to snuggle!
