Found these three bulls on a hilltop in the Lamar Valley. It was just after an early September snowfall. I thought the one on the left was clearly dominant. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2015.5) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

I like your choice of crop here and the distant snow covered background and clouds adds to the image. Better if all 3 were facing you, but I know that perfect poses on 3 subjects is a rare thing in a group image. Well done.

I love this, great work!
How about slicing a wee bit off the bottom?

Nice. Really should be viewed "larger." No nits, but I might agree with some off the bottom. Middle one looks suspiciously like a cow to me! enlightened
