Brandt, I have dodged and curved the bull a bit, lowered the contrast on the rest. Also, this shot was selected and processed because the subject is a bit distinct from his friends, so we are on the same track.
Chris, I looked at BW but prefer the colours. BW might work well on a close-up of the coat, as in Walker's recent leopard image.
In these temperatures my technique is simply to check the histogram, leave everything on auto, and concentrate on finding a composition.
Yes, Isaac, they seem a bit taller than the Forester. We were surrounded three times that afternoon, somewhat to the consternation of my European guests.
