This is a nice big bull, Jerry. The falling snow also looks good. I do wish to get a better view of his head. Some careful dodging of his head, neck and ears might take care of that.

Jerry,
The snow adds so much to this image devil

Hi Jerry,

Overall this is a pleasing shot but I'm kinda left wishing that the bull's head region was a little clearer. I'm wondering if pulling back a bit and including a bit more of the environment might have made this a little stronger shot? Just a thought (and it may reflect my personal preferences more than anything else).

Thanks for sharing this one...cheers...

Brad
