Hey, I'm Here!

Something from Sep '14 on a trip to Colorado to see my brother and family.
Randy and I went up to RMNP one afternoon and walked around Moraine Park and I came across this bull announcing his presence. Late afternoon with heavy overcast and some light drizzle (notice the droplets on the bare branch on the right) made for soft flat light.

Good one, love to hear these guys bugling.

Hard to miss where they are when they start bellowing. Nice pose and an impressive rack of antlers.

 

[BarryHamilton]

Thanks, Guys! He was an impressive beast!

Really like the bokeh of the back ground, really makes this majestic creator stand out from the rest of the image. Very nice!

Great Photo, Barry! Awesome rack. Seems like a bull that other bulls should avoid.

This is definitely very impressive Barry! Up in Estes Park and that area of RMNP they are not shy at all. You can find them in town too.

Nice pose Barry. Wish that branch was also out of focus. Perhaps a lens blur for that area ...

I might agree but I really liked the rain droplets shining on its branches!
