Took the Jeep on some back roads this morning to enjoy the recent snow fall. We got about 3 or 4 inches. Saw this buffalo and just had to get a shot.

Nice capture...lucky you.
You are missing a whole lotta colour and detail in the face (esp. the eyes) and fur.
The vignetting is OK with me.
I downloaded your image and used shadows/highlights under adjustments in Photoshop ....what a difference!

Cropped a bit differently, made a few curves adjustments to get try to bring out some detail. I think this will be the final edit of this photo for me except for a possible black and white version.
