I thought I'd post this image of the 2 black-tailed bucks that were in the fight I watched and posted photos of recently. This was taken during a break in the action in which they just kind of stood there and looked at each other for 30 seconds and then continued their battle. As you can see they are pretty evenly matched. The buck on the left is the eventual winner and looks to me to be just a little larger in body size and has a slightly better set of antlers. I did a minimum amount of post work on this. Biggest change was to clone out a branch that was a major distraction.

That must have been amazing to watch peter,, i assume the cloning was in the foregorund? I think you could do some level adjustments to give the bucks a bit more separation form the trees, I think it would really help to bring them out
