Now he looks like he developed into a monster!! Pretty cool image. I would like to see a little more brightness in the face of the bull, as it looks like you've lost some detail in the blacks (at least on my monitor).

The rim lighting on velvet antlers is especially pleasing.  I like the scene and the composition, even with the background animal being overlapped by subject animal.  The jittery edges of the trees against the bright sky is somewhat distracting to my eye.  Others might not feel the same!  On my monitor the coat of the big bull seems greenish...and I wonder if some slight tweaks of white balance would render that differently?
