Here's another shot from our South Africa tour last year. This was taken from our safari vehicle in Addo Elephant National Park zoomed out as far as I could (effective of 225mm). I then cropped in a little bit to get to this point. I like it for the eye contact and the texture of the horns.

Nate, the details on the horns are tremendous. The image exudes power and threat, whilst the old dagga looks like within a blink of an eye, will explode into one bad tempered brute.. Nice one!

Make your life spectacular!

The captured look says a TON....
Great detail with that lens and ISO 1000 from the D7000 is impressive.

A superbly detailed study of this old, world weary bull Nate! The image evokes a feeling of sadness, and any shot that can stir the emotions is the mark of a very successful one!
