Nice exposure of this bull.  You have detail in the light and dark areas.  Also like the pose.  The BG is sort of busy, maybe a tighter crop.  Thanks for sharing.

Jerry,

This is delightful, great pose and detail. I might try toning down the white patches a littledevil

He is a beauty, Jerry.  I think I prefer the wider view of him that my memory credits you with posting last year!  The season for these guys is almost upon us and they make great, regal subjects.

Jerry: a fine specimen and an appealing pose. Any chance you have a bit more at the bottom? Richard
