Great sharpness and wondeful details in this lovely wildlife image Jan Hendrik.
It seems that the Buffalo keeps you in sight looking at the way his eye is turned towards the viewer.
Pity there are so many grassess in front of the lower part of his head. Best regards, Harry

Hi Jan Hendrick,
I thinmk he got his eyes on you ;-).
Great shot of the Waterbuffulo, quite a size difference to the birds you usually show.
No difference in quality mind you this is equally as well composed as tour bird pictures.
Great POV, sharpness and lighting are very nice.

Hi Jan,
Great note describing this characters behaviour..You can see that attitude clearly in its eye. Perhaps his age has made em' extra dangerous..
Us old farts..Well we tend to get a bit edgy at times ;)
Thanx for the links, nicely done.

Hi Jan, excellent shot of this guy in his natural element. This is one I don't think you'd care to get too close to. This almost looks like the look before the charge. Very nice capture of that eye.

Thanks, John

Hi Jan,
Superb shot of this buffalo. Perfect natural lighting and colours. Excellent POV, sharpness and focus. It seems it had a mud bath lately. Good eye contact. Very nicely composed and presented. Kudos.

Hi Jan,
Truly a wonderful image.
Razorsharp. Well composed.
I don't care about the grasses in the foreground, on the contrary...
Heard about these dangerous looners....
Superb work!

Hi Jan

What a splendid portrait of an animals we sadly don't see so much of here - this wonderful African Buffalo.
The pose of your subject here is terrific and the details you present him with are awesome!
Also, the close-up level is impressive, the DOF is exceptional and the natural colors are charming.

Bravo and TFS

Fantastic close-up, Jan! What an excellent shot!
I like a lot the point of view, DOF and composition. Magnificent sharpness and details.
The note as well as the link to The Ultimate Ungulate are very interesting and valudable.
Thank you very much for sharing.
