Bison on Yellowstone Grasslands in Early Winter

A herd of wild American bison roam the rolling grasslands of Yellowstone National Park in early winter. The vast plain is bathed in pale, soft winter light; frost clings to dry grasses and a light dusting of snow covers the ground. The shaggy coats of the bison glisten with moisture as they move slowly across the plain, with a calf nudging its mother while others drift in a loose group. Misty breath and warm vapors rise from their nostrils in chilly air. In the distance, snow-capped mountains rise beyond evergreen forests, and distant geysers send wisps of steam into the cold sky. The sky is overcast with muted blues and grays, lending a moody, cinematic atmosphere. Foreground details focus on textured fur, massive shoulders, and powerful bodies, while the background softens to emphasize scale and wilderness. Style: photorealistic, ultra-detailed, natural color palette (earthy browns, olive greens, whites), with shallow depth of field and a 50mm lens feel to enhance the sense of space and movement.
