I thought this looked like jDM's work. I have always wondered how he does his great images. Not like this was done, I'm sure. We were surprised by a bull bison behind us when taking sunrise photos. This resulted in a blurry photo and then we hurriedly took down tripods and wondered what to do next. Luckily, after staring at us and twitching his tail he lumbered down a path right next to us. A bit scary!
I'm glad you are okay, Karly. It does sound scary. This is a cool shot and I like the effect you got. I don't know how jDM does it either. He is so creative.
Did give you a neat shot - though I imagine you'd have preferred a focused one from a distance! At least a little further distance. Glad he backed off on his own - that probably was pretty scary.
Cool shot!
