Description
An Early October morning I found these bison grazing. The temperature was in the single digits and no wind. Nearby thermal features created a mist that covered everything and reduced visibility. When I was working up this photo I really wanted to give the viewer the idea of how cold it is. There was frost clinging to everything including the bison. The best way I could convey this was to show this image in Black and white. Completely unfazed by the bitter cold conditions, these bison continued to feed on what grass was left only knowing it would soon be covered by snow.

I love the composition and the tones in this bw conversion!

Thanks Michele. This isn't much different than the original :) The temp at the time was in the teens and all the steam from the geothermal areas created this big blanket of mist. It was just a matter of trying to find a good composition.
