Another one of my rare wildlife images that I can’t resist while visiting Yellowstone. Bison are definitely the animals that I was least excited to see as a kid just because they were so prevalent, but now they have to be my favorite.

Great atmosphere and wonderful frame with some nice details in the dark areas.  
I’m just wondering how much crop is this?

The resulting file is around 12 megapixels from the original 5dIII file. Luckily still enough for a nice a3 print, but definitely not ideal.
