Support, there's a rule in photography called "GET CLOSER!!!!!!!!!", but it does not apply here. --Aqwis (talk) 03:14, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support My souvenir from yellowstone: hot springs and bisons. The picture is not perfect (noise in the sky, per example), but I guess it must be quite a hard/dangerous shot to get. --S23678 (talk) 12:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. It is quite dangerous to get this kind of shot. There was not one, but two bisons there. As we were warn : "Bison can sprint at 30 mph (48 km/h) or 44 feet per second (13m/second). That is faster than an Olympic sprinter!These animals may appear slow and tame, but are wild animals - unpredictable and dangerous! You are required to stay at least 25 yards (23 m) away from all animals. People are gored by bison every year for not respecting the required distance. Be smart - do not approach bison!" When I was taking the pictures, I was much,much more closer than 23 meters to the closest bison. Besides there was nowhere to run because of hot springs. I left rather fast, when one of the bisons started getting up.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Poor quality image, and mediocre composition. Lycaon (talk) 14:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I can't understand why there is so little detail on the head. Perhaps the focus is a bit off? I'm also not keen from a compositional point of view on all that bare earth. --MichaelMaggs (talk) 08:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Info Here's the link to some safety videos about bisons, just for the information.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't improve the quality of this picture! -- Lycaon (talk) 16:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the link after the image has passed and only because I would not like somebody to get hurt in trying to repeat my experience with bisons. I always try to prevent Wikipedia readers from getting hurt. Here's for example the article Sunspot. If you go down to the gallery, you will see that I added there: "Please remember observing sunspots at sunsets without proper solar filters may permanently damage your eyes."
May I please ask you, Hans, if you believe that the link to the safety videos should be added to the description of the image too? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:47, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
