Such a majestic bull! It's a pity the image quality has suffered from the apparent heat haze...

An amazing bull. Love the pose. The bull looks a bit soft on my monitor. Perhaps a larger image would allow for a better evaluation of image quality.

Great pose, only nit is the dead center composition.

Jack, I think the heat haze actually adds an artistic appeal to this image. Great pose and nice layering. I do agree a bit less centered might have resulted in a stronger presentation.

That's an exceptional bull for sure, a great pose....and I really like the three layers of habitat depicted.

Other than the centering of the bull I think this is a very strong image. As Vincent mentioned, the heat haze actually adds to the habitat detail. a large version would show if the haze has softened the bull too much.
