Taken at Great Adventure Wild Safari in 2006.

Editing: Converted to b&w in virtual photographer (I don't remember the one I used). Then used some clarity and some vibrance in Topaz.

At first glance I preferred the original, but the more I look at this the more I like it. The editing pushes it just a bit beyond reality and that's the appeal of it. It looks almost like a drawing and then gets me thinking about something on the wall of a cave.

The high contrast edit is great...really brings out the texture of that fur!

I love this edit. Excellent choice of processing. I love that I can still see the texture of buffalo's fur and some gras. Great job!!

I'm now humming "You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd..." Amazing how many photos remind me of songs.

Given that it looks as though your original was overexposed, I think your high-key approach works well. I like how with such a minimum of data, you can still get such a sense of the wispy nature of the fur.

I love this version. The bg is all the better for being barely ther.

This is fabulous! I love the high contrast, the tone is just great. I actually like working with blown out images, because often you can turn them into real gems like THIS!

Excellent edit, Kelli! The original was blown a bit, but this really makes use of that and gives excellent detail in his coat. Very nice work!

Good edit. It really helped with the washed out parts from the original, color version. Looks also like its on high contrast print paper.
