This is a nice big bull, Jerry.  The falling snow also looks good.  I do wish to get a better view of his head.  Some careful dodging of his head, neck and ears might take care of that.

Hi Jerry,

Overall this is a pleasing shot but I'm kinda left wishing that the bull's head region was a little clearer. I'm wondering if pulling back a bit and including a bit more of the environment might have made this a little stronger shot? Just a thought (and it may reflect my personal preferences more than anything else).

Thanks for sharing this one...cheers...

Brad
