I would love to have been there to hear this guy bugling. This is a little more visceral than your usual portrait.

But, man does it ever translate the true nature of the rut!

I like the emotion here! Really sings, if you know what I mean!

Simply amazing. All primal, nothin' 'pretty' about this bull. I just love it!
The few touches of autumn colors help highlight what time of year it is without being overpowering.
An outstanding, professional caliber portrait, Dan!

Hey Dan - quite the capture here! I like it! Looks like this boy was sweating big time and the debri on the antlers is great. Well Done!

Down and dirty! Sweet behavioral capture. Nicely done.
