Very nice work Jamie. My only nit is a slight red cast in the grass. Beautiful capture though.

What a great pose and perfect depth of field!

With regard to Paul's mention of the red cast in the grass, I get the feeling that perhaps (not sure) you used a warm color balance to simulate sunrise or sunset. However, the light seems to be so diffuse that it's difficult for me to imagine that such warm sunlight would penetrate the cloud cover that makes the light so diffuse.

Actually, the image was taken just before dark (10 minutes). There was no cloud cover, just blue sky.
It is the magic hour light, I could easily reduce the saturation - but I decided to post as shot.

Well there ya go, works for me. Beautiful shot of a great bull.
