Looks like a great shot! Needs to be bigger to get the full effect of the light.

I agree a larger version would better enable us to appreciate detail. Exposure looks right on and you were dealing with the difficulties of bright clear sky and some strong shadows. You might be able to selectively lighten the shadow side of the bull with a post processing tweak.

Fine composition, I esp like the angle of the head and how the light hits the animal. Might even be better without the trees in the bgd as they compete a bit with the beautiful rack.
