Nice shot, and well composed. This makes me homesick for Africa.

The body looks much like a Brahma Bull Jen. Great capture.

I like the freedom of this shot.

Although it's early in the morning here (so in the UK as well), see that Owd Bob's is already famishing, lol.
Wonderful wildlife capture again Jen. Just great.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
