About the Image(s)
I field an image from 2012 this month, when we went to Yellowstone in January/February - an amazing adventure, when the 8 guests all looked after each other to be able to cope with the extreme cold. It was a landscape focussed trip, but if there was wildlife to photograph……..!
Well we came across a bison kill by the relatively recently re-introduced wolves (the bison was apparently far from well).
This was taken with my then Canon equipment of Canon (5D and 7D bodies) - with this using the 7D and 70-200 f2.8 lens plus the x2 converter - at its full reach. Settings 1/2,000 f5.6 and ISO 200.
I’ve developed in very recently afresh using mush better Lightroom facilities than 12 years ago and finishing up with Topaz Photo Ai, to sharpen, denoise etc.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

What a moment to witness and capture! As Bruce points out, the light is harsh and the dynamic range is wide, so it'll be a personal choice for where your edit ends up. I think I like something between yours and Isaac's - I like that you kept yours dark enough to not make the edit so obvious, but I think bumping up the overall exposure rather than the shadows might go a long way to make the snow less muddy. I like that Isaac's edit brings the birds out a bit more too - they're a neat part of the story to me.
