Floating cows? Not really. I had to open up to make sure I recorded detail on their dark coats, which rendered the pale grasses very light. I liked the effect and didn't try to modify it in Photoshop.

Parks Canada has some grazing lease arrangements with local ranchers within the boundaries of Grasslands NP (and outside the bison area, which is huge). I don't know how long these will be operative, or whether the perimeter fencing eventually will be expanded to allow the bison herd to grow. The presence of cows, for now, is a good thing, because prairie needs to be grazed to remain healthy.
