Instant classic! I like the fact that you have lowered your camera angle a little bit to aim right at the target! ;)

This one is incredible! It's amazing what one can do once the minimal editing rule is lifted!

Thanks, Lev. Hope you had a good time in Vancouver and came back with some nice pictures. Loved your entry too!

The movement of the calf and the flight of birds brings a feel of motion and 'sound' to a normally peaceful scene of the bison foraging (I can almost hear the chatter of the birds and the flapping wings). The calf in his/her playfulness seems to be playing/racing with the birds. Love how the bison in the forefront has turned their head to seemingly look the observer in the eye. Fabulous work and I can very well see this in the NG magazine talking about the bison of the plains.

Thank you, CNovack! Always enjoy reading your comments very much!

Congrats on your PB. I wish it would have been rewarded with a ribbon but that doesn't take anything away from your great entry.

It's not a blur, it's a glow really. The effet is called "Glamour Glow" in NIK. Adding Motion blur is definitely not ok, however Glamour Glow is something completely different and is totally ok.

Sure, would be happy to. The glowy/blurry effect is created by NIK's Glamour Glow. If you have NIK's plugin installed in your photoshop, all you have to do is to launch it and click on Glamour Glow and it will give you a very interesting effect like this. It's almost like an instant dodge and burn but with a bit of a glow.
