The bull just breathes power and your toning treatment works remarkably well Arthur. I really like this one, fantastic ps work :toast:

This would be a favourite if there wasn't such a tight crop around the bull -it's got zero breathing space. If the original has the space I'd go for including space around the edges and even printing it huge (or at least A4) :wavey:

I also find the photo to look almost surnatural, like if it was from a creature of another world. The composition is a little tight but still work ok. It's a striking photo especialy the way you processed it. :toast: :toast:
