    The buffalos are lined up perfectly on the hillside... Especially love the little ones in a row. That is not always easy to photograph as usually buffalos like to scatter around when they are eating...Great composition and the lighting is beautiful!

    I can see this in mono - don't know why, but the simplicity of the shot, lends itself to that in my minds eye. A simple but effective comp. We have these in Texas too, but the fences are always to high for us to get a good shot of them :-(

    When in Yellowstone, human Moms were letting their little ones climb on a fence just a few feet from grazing buffalo. I wanted to shout to them that these guys are wild and not to be taken for granted. People just don't realize. Your shot with these guys on the hill is fantastic. I especially love the babies.

    The kids are all sticking together. I have an adopted Grand Mother on the Rez in Pine Ridge SD. So much history there.

    Richard, I hadn't noticed this photo before. I think it is one of your best. The minimalism, color, and POV - create an emotional storyline. Hats off... now we need to find a jpg. theme for this
