Mighty nice of you to say that Tom. :D:D:D Thank you much.
I think I'm starting to get a handle on it but there's still a good distance to
go yet and I'm enjoying the ride. :marlin It ain't fancy but its a ride. :D

:D:wink:D
No fancy back story Eia... for which I am practically embarrassed to say.
With a result like this, it does seem that there would be quite a yarn to go with it.
Just a matter in being in just the right place at the time.
The title I gave it, is as it is, because the final appeared so much to be
that way. A close natural for title. :D

A detail I would like to note is that this piece is not a composite. I guess
that anymore, that in itself is not that big a deal these days as it used to be.
Just cleaned off a couple dust bunnies and a couple other minor points.
Thanks again Eia.

Makes me think and ponder what had to be going through this animal's mind at the time.

I'm seriously pleased the final turned out this well. I was looking
for this result when I went for this image. :D

Very cool shot. Composition and colors are awesome. My goal for the summer is to hunt for colors. Hopefully I'll find some. Way to go getting a closeup of a huge bull like that!
