Saw this bull walking through the meadow all by himself. Drove to where I thought he might be headed and waited for him to pass. He was an obviously older bull with a broken horn and a damaged eye. I've got both clipped shadows and highlights in the processed version but wanted a more contrasty version than the original capture so I'm okay with them. 40D, 1-400L, f6.3, 1/125s, ISO 1000, HH, cropped some off left and top, removed a couple of OOF stalks in between us.

The swish of the tail is a nice feature and because its dark no issues with intersecting with the trees for me. Yes by adding three layers of a mid tone luminosity adjustment at various % (sky, bull, FG) it does help, however I don't think it destroys the overall look & feel, just gives it a little more depth I think?
