The Two Bulls

Hey everyone! Here's another image from the Waterton elk rut! This guy surprisingly didn't have a harem, so he was bugling away trying to get another bull to come in. A few of the bulls would look at him and think about it, but none would take action. I took this image while he was on a break from bugling. I really like how the bull in the background has almost the exact pose as the main bull.

Thank you for lookin'!

You did really well with the comp on this, Jenaya, looking into the frame like this. Excellent image, and what a rack!

This works very well Jenanya and indeed that second bull in the BG in a similar pose does make the image visually more interesting. That said, I do wish the third one even further in the distance would not be there (unless it was also in the same pose!)
