Great Texas Staredown

His name is Big Ben... I found out, soon after I captured this moment,

that his female counterpart was shot and killed by a poacher recently.

Big Ben became severely depressed and stopped feeding. So, they put

him in with the calves. He's come back around... and has assumed the

role of the calve's guardian. He was cautious in my presence as he

watched over them. Infrared.

 

Comments appreciated as always!

 

Thanks,

You did Big Ben proud with this one. This is a fabulous shot. I can't believe how good it looks. There is just something about that infrared look. 7/7 without a doubt.

Very unusual capture. Surreal!! Nice job.

Great sky in the back. Magestic animal. Great capture.

I like this shot because it looks impresionnism.

The sky is so nice touch.

PRECIOUS !!!

So this is what they mean by Texas Longhorn! Had to do a double, then a triple take. I very much like the way the cropping focuses all the attention on the incredible head gear. Nice toning work too --jim
