Knowing when to walk away...

NorthernFocus

An image from a series I took a couple of days ago. I was set up near one cow and her calf. Over the course of a couple of hours, no less than five different bulls came around. Two of them were little guys like the one in the FG of this image. They kept the distance for the most part. One of them did move in and make a pass at the calf right after the big bulls had fought and were still catching their breath. The big guy in the BG defended "his" cow for about an hour and a half until he was finally beat in a fight by a younger, smaller animal (but not this small). I'll post a couple more images after I finish culling and PP.


Like the song says, sometimes you just have to know when to walk away.

Can't wait to see more pictures from this session! Seems it's not easy, being a moose.

Sweet capture!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I'm still going through photos from that day but have processed enough for the follow up post as indicated. I'll try to get to that directly.
