Autumn walks - 3
Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 5 November 2010 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
The bull from hell, and what a monster it was. It watched me the whole time that I was taking shots, but when it stood up I decided it was time to leave. As I looked back I saw that it had its head through the metal gate rattling it :0
My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.
P. Morris from Canada
He is a really big one to tangle with. You got an incredible shot of his power
here, the composition and the wonderful saturation of colors are most beautiful.

Wow - great capture of this impressive beast! It certainly has an evil look in its eyes. Yes - it's good to know when it's time to leave! Lovely lighting effect you get on its coat and hide.

I think you stayed on the right side of the fence. He would have loved to welcome you close up and personal!

That rattling of the gate was to remind you who's boss in his pasture. A great shot of this fellow.

With no real scale it looks half bull and half sheep to me, albeit with no wool !

Maybe it's because I've seen too many piercings, but he looks almost human to me.
