I really like this, handsome bull and the setting is so nice. All the diagonal elements play together for a wonderful composition.

Beautiful Bull and beautiful image. I'm so envious of your trip as this is the first year since 2005 that we haven't ventured to the Canadian Rockies in September. I just love it there this time of year. I'm am happy to see such a fine image to remind me of what is there. Thank you for posting.

Bob,
The weather was a struggle but we did find some nice bulls-sadly one of the biggest we found deceased 2 days after photographing
him. I will be posting images soon.
