Nature Conservancy Tallgrass Prairie Preserve (NE Oklahoma) this morning. Walking North into blowing snow to get to the pond.

Bison: tough way to make a living

EDIT: Mrs. Peeb suggested that the crop was too tight. I warmed the color and cropped initially. Perhaps best closer to SOOC:

Now that is just stunning I think, you caught the Bison beautifully trudging it`s way through the falling snow.
 
"Back when I was a young calf son, it was uphill BOTH ways to the watering hole, and the snow was past our horns!"

Great image - have you tried this in high-contrast black & white?
 
Very cool image
 
Great shot Peeb! I too would be curious to see how this looks in black and white. :)
 
Here it is, uncropped, in BW, extra contrast, and dehazed

That b&w is a cracker of an image now Peeb.
 
Nice capture @Peeb. I don't often do this but that was such a good image, that I thought I'd try a B&W conversion in PS. Used a B&W layer with luminosity as the blend mode and then did a gradient layer for the b&w conversion that I typically do but made it a little darker than I would have normally done.

That's really beautiful, Ron!
 
They are all great. My favourite is original uncropped. Is this near where you live? If so, lucky you.

Yes, it is nearby, and a treasure!
