All three are great Dan. I really love the calf, it almost looks like it's holding a ball in it's mouth

Great series Dan...that first one is almost comical with his expression.

All three are professional caliber images, Dan. However, #2 is just so excellent with the uncommon and beautiful pose. Simply striking!
Glad you got some snow for some mighty fine backgrounds.

#3 is just sickeningly cute, Dan!

I like #2, the upward-looking expression is interesting.

Great shots, all of them. It may be he wants that fresh pine scent when he goes a courtin'.
Great captures, #2 looks like he's posing for a model shoot!

Thanks for the comments. I've been wanting to get images of this behavior. Usually there are other trees in the way.

Of the two bull shots, stronger preference for #2. The wet sideswept beard is nice. The small dobs of snow on the pines add a lot to the images.
Yep. the calf is cute. Must be the big brown eyes. I wonder if you have a little on the left to add, as due to its head tilt, maybe its head/nose would be better just right of center rather than just left of center.

Great set of images. The snow really sets off the background.
