I really like the capture in terms of the buffalo, however, if you could have moved so that the branch was not in front of his face, the cleaner shot would be much more arresting.

Congratulations Willielieb!
You captured what to me is a menacing look of the buffalo. The hugeness and somehow the inherent strenght of the animal is conveyed.
I agree with the comments of morca007 on the "cleaner shot" but more often than not capturing the shot takes precedence specially with wildlife.
