The rut is just getting started in Yellowstone and this is one of the first bulls to show up along the MAdison. Figured I'd better post it before Jess did.

Nice capture. I like the vertical comp. The antler shadow shows this to be rather harsh light, but you did a good job of balancing it.

Great portrait of a beautiful bull Pete! He's giving me the fever.

Tell him to be patient; I'll br there on September 24!! Of course the grass won't be quite so green then, and )hopefully) some of his male buddies might be along to "...keep things stirred up a little."

As for this image, nice clean image with good color saturation. As stated by others, I like the clean separation of the background (it's also one of the cleaner backgrounds one might see along the Madison).

This is really nice! I will be heading up there this coming weekend for an entire 9-10 days. If all goes well, I plan to try my hand at some fauna photography and will try to post something to show all of you experts!
