I took this image in Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada. It had been raining so I was shooting at a very low shutter speed. This bull was way off in the distance when his cows started coming closer. When he finally came close enough for pictures his cows started to go away from us! He started trotting, which added a cool effect to the image. While shooting this image I was thinking "please work, please work!", and luckily it did! It's too bad he's angling away from us but I still really like this image.
