Practice

An overcast October afternoon, I was focusing on a couple of sparring young bucks when two mature muley bucks nearby decided to start a pushing match. It wasn't anything too serious, as you can tell by their stance and lack of dust flying, just getting geared up early for the rut.

I realize that both bucks are pretty close to the edge of the shot - I wanted some symmetry between them and had to rotate what was an already tight original, losing some wiggle room on either end (this crop is about 90% of the original).
