Hi John - This works quite well with a nice low pov, good tones, colors and details. Nice rack. Looks like a bull in his prime. Were they rutting yet?

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks Rachel. Yup they were rutting.

I hope you got sparring and bugling images that you'll share.

Lovely image with a fantastic low angle that works a treat. The techs are all nailed imho with some beautiful subtleties in colour(brown) beautifully portrayed. However its that pose that really makes the image imo. Perhaps a sliver off the bottom (just cutting out the oof grass) MIGHT improve an already fantastic crop. Love this image !!!!

A far better capture John, love the perspective and colour also look much improved. Just wished the trees were filling the LHS rather than the blue sky and so the rack was also separated better with a darker tree line.
