This White Bison Has More Presence Than I Do

On a windswept prairie, alone, an albino American bison rises as the subject of a powerful wildlife portrait shot in moody natural light: massive white shaggy head and shoulders emerging from a softly diffused dark backdrop of distant tree line and heavy storm clouds. It faces the viewer head-on, pale brown eyes steady, head slightly lowered and turned so one horn reads more prominent, ears half-buried in the mane but angled with quiet awareness. A break in the clouds sends soft side light grazing across its face and mane, while the trees and sky behind it sink into deep slate blues and forest greens. Dry prairie grass bends in the wind around it, scattered wildflowers and a weathered rock near its front hooves grounding the animal in the landscape.
