Good sort of pastoral look at this most wild of cows. I like all the different colors in the coat. I do wonder why you didn’t choose to include all of the shadow…? Maybe something to the left that was ugly/distracting? A shift to the right putting the animal over that way and eliminating the near mountain could work maybe, keeping the farther line of mountains as a consistent backdrop. The light looks reasonable there…matches the clouds immediately overhead. Hm. Choices, choices. Everything looks a bit soft as well…big crop?
Thank you @Kris_Smith. I was so busy following the rule of thirds that I failed to follow the rule of get the whole shadow in this one. We were in a van and didn’t want to get out with the bison so close, so this was shot from the window. I’m attaching the original full frame with minor editing for shadows, levels, and Topaz denoise and sharpen here.
