    Hi Steve, super comp with the bugling bull looking into space. Is this a family, as there is a youngster there. Your country is so vast, and would love to experience the open plains of wildlife there.

    Very nice habitat image Steve, with the composition just right.
    Did he ever manage their attention?

    Thanks Stuart. Not a family per se, but these females were currently under his control. They were part of a group of 20-30 cows and young that he was herding and defending from other bulls. And should you ever come for a visit, I think you've established enough contacts here on BPN to get some inside information on locations regardless of where you go :)

    Thanks Marc. This was one of the busiest bulls I've ever watched. He had a rather large group to tend to and he was nowhere near the biggest bull in the meadow, but I witnessed him chasing off three bigger bulls. As far as managing their attention, he sure got them back to the group quickly when they strayed. Fun to watch.

    Hi Steve: A great portrayal of female ambivalence! I see the same thing with turkeys in Missouri in the spring. This shot isn't "quite" as beautiful as I'm used to from you but you have set the standard awfully high with previous images. Also, I love the story it tells. Hey, you still seem to be leaving that 400DO at home a lot - what's up. Thanks.

    A Very lovely composition and Love the story that this images implies. They do not have an easy task keeping all those females close by and interested.

    The colors through out the frame work well. I think the tree trunks add interest. Would probably try a crop just above the little scrubby bush lower right.

    Hi Steve

    Image does show the lack of interested in the girls, does look funny !!! I like the even spacing, behavior and overall feel !!! Excellent !!!

    Like how you included the cows with the bugling bull. Nice colors in the vegetation as well.

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions. They're appreciated.

    Danny,
    No problems with the DO. Just saving myself some walking by composing with the zoom on a very active subject. :)
