 This bull is wild and part of a 700 head herd located on Antelope Island Utah. He was grazing toward some terrific light, but stopped short of moving into the sun, staying in the shadows.

I've processed this guy many ways and finally went with Nik Software's Viveza 2 thanks to my team and Hahn23. It's amazing. While it's not perfect, I hope you see the magic of what I saw as I sat at the lake's edge at sunrise.

I'm wanting a top 10 on this guy. Go, Bull, Go!

A really good attempt but think this would have been an AMAZING shot if the bull was more in focus and you could see more of the detail of his fluffy coat.
