Hello Annick,
Nice to see famous Syncerus caffer from Africa with your post. Excellent details and composition on this perfect portraite. Nicely framed.
I saw them fighting with leons on documentray films. It may be dangerous for human in very close place. Take care and have a nice weekend.

He looks like an enormous mass of pure muscle. I love the light on the horns and the way they fit into the frame. Eye contact is super.

Hi Annick

Great pose - I like the 'expression' of contempt on the buffalos face. Very good detail.

I posed a shot of a Forest Buffalo in my Uganda section.

Hallo annick,

Weer op zijn Nederlands want dan kan ik het beter omschrijven.
Goed standpunt, scherp op het oog en de kleuren zijn ook wel goed.
Nu mijn kanttekeningen.
Jammer dat het linker ookg wat wegvalt.
Onderkant van zijn kop bij zijn mond valt ook wat weg tegen zijn borst.
Zou schaduw/hooglichten hier iets verbetering kunnen brengen?
weet ook wel uit ervaring dat donker op donker wat moeilijker is.
Kijk nu naar elke foto die je plaatst, geef alleen niet overal kommentaar op en het moet ook een beetje een aanvulling zijn toch?
Voel je vrij om ook bij mij kritiek te geven hoor!

groet Gert

Hello Annick,
A superb portrait of an African Buffalo bull, the lighting and the bull's expression adding interest to the image. The sharpness and composition are of course up to usual high standard.
Thanks for sharing this fine image,
Ivan

Hello Annick,
Excellent shot showing a fine specimen of African Buffalo. Just look at those massive horns, no wonder humans have not been able to tame it so far.
It's a fine picture with good lighting, details and DOF.

TFS and Regards,
Smitha.

Hi Annick
I like your shot much more than the one I have posted for comparison purposes - your lighting is so much better. It makes me realize the difference between a good and average shot.TFS.

Hi Annick,

Oups! I've missed that one!
Superb close-up again with such sharpness, great details.
Really like the tight crop.
Congratulations for you very fine images.

Hello Annick!
If I remember, this is one of 3 the most dangerous African animals (after hippo and crocodile). Very nice portrait with great sharpness and details. Note is short but brings interesting information about species.
All the best!

Hi Annick,
A bit late, but very good portrait of this buffle.
I hope you where at safe distance, they can be as dangerous as rhino. Fine details and composition.
