p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · An American Landscape (Or, the new cliff dwellers)


Is it critter, or is it a landscape? Who knows. Generally I keep my animals in the appropriate forum and I'd posted this before over in the general Nikon Board, buried in one of the lens love threads, but some people liked it so I figured I'd clean it up and try it here as it has some landscape characteristics. So I removed one buffalo to balance it out.

It's a nice surprise when you Jeep 50 miles up and over the Mountains and come across these animals on the edge of a scenic cliff. But since they aren't that close I figure they are part of the scenery...

Thanks for looking!

You're allowed to have animals in a landscape in my book. That's a very dramatic back drop for this one. A very cool looking place. Looks like there could be some pretty interesting shots at the edge of the grassy cliffs as well.

Hey Craig,

What a cool shot! That had to have been a wonderful feeling to see all those buffalo as this came into view. Nicely composed and processed. I really like the sharpness and detail in this too, well done!

Great find and image here, Craig. People, animals, structures, seem to always be welcome here. Thanks for not pumping the colors.

Nice capture. Hope the park service doesn't miss the buffalo you removed from the herd.

Great color layers, layout, and subject. Judging from the red dogs, I'm figuring you shot this in the spring?

Craig,

This is beautiful. It really does have that "where the buffalo's roam" feel. I certainly feel this is more landscape than "animal' shot. The buffalos add to the shot but isn't the main attraction I think. I think this photo truly is the sum of its parts and needs every bit of it.

I certainly see this shot as a landscape, and a rather nice one at that!

Outstanding! Love the soft light, incredible depth and the bison add a lovely bit of Americana to the scene. Very nicely done, Craig!

John, I had never heard that term before! Red Dogs. I had to look it up. But no, it was a mid-August shot from last year. I had a lot of the close ups, but sort of liked this as more of an "environmental" image, the overview before moving down.

this is a beautiful shot. The bison make it very unique, and I love the way the cliff drops off in the background. The icing on the cake is the extreme background though -- I love how the form of that butte is softened by the atmospheric haze.
