Bull Along the Madison

I just got back from Yellowstone. The elk rut action along the Madison River was great. I captured this big 6x7 bull as he was wading through the tall reeds along the Madison trying to keep his ladies in check.

Reallynice Jerry. I love the simplicity of this with the bull amidst nothing but a sea of grass.

Jerry,

This is very special, the grass makes it so different. You must have had plenty of light

Jerry: unique to have captured the bull in this sea of grass. Techs are spot on and nice to see a different take on the animal. Richard

Really nice, and I agree that simplicity of surroundings is a strong positive. How about adding a slight touch of warmth? I know that is subjective preference, but I think it would be a plus.
