Don't Mess with ME

A straight on shot of a feared African water buffalo.

There was a column of these beasts walking parallel to the road we were parked on, but I could see them wanting to turn up ahead so to cross the road. Asked the driver to pull up and temporarily block them and got this.. The front bull didn't quite know what to make of us for a few minutes; he eventually re-directed the column farther ahead, where we let them cross. They were also being eyed by a pack of lions that seemed interested in the only calf in the group. The lions never attacked. I got the feeling that the lions were sort of outgunned here.

C&Cs welcome

I think you should bump up the blacks to separate the beast more from the background.

I like the pose he gave u. the head a bit tilted in a sorta questioning way. lol. I'm not sure about the guy on the top left. but then again if that wasn't there i don't know what the photo would look like.

I actually don't mind the top of the animal blending in a bit with the background, it gives the face that much more focus. looks like the shooting conditions where really bright mid day sun.

Guys, do you really think he blends into the background? Upping the contrast really diminishes the detail on this guy (tried it). Plus, he may be offended ..
