Looks like the same individual as in the previous post of yours ?

John -- this is another fine image and I liked the framing and the misty feel in the image. Blacks have been handled much nicely than the previous post and colours look accurate to me as per the scene and light. Nice details as well . Another fine frame.

TFS !

Hi John, another good image from the session with this bull. I think if the opportunity to move to your right was possible then I would have taken it to avoid the trees in the BKG running through the rack. If you have time, try to add a bit more tonal range in the light brown of the body.

Very nice indeed John, colours look good. I must say it didn't occur to me but Steve's suggestion would make a subtle but significant difference.

A beauty John, I like this as presented.

Well taken and processed, lovely BG ( yes I see what Steve meant about the trees and he is right, this is something we tend to forget when 'out there'), nice FG with those little white flowers, subject looks majestic and proud - what lovely pose!

I cannot praise you enough for your work in the field, as well as for the way in which you process your images lately - a pleasure to view each and every thread, thank you for sharing !

Kind regards,

[John Mack]
