Incredible close up/macro and wonderfully composed image, Emile. Great title...so apt for this image!! That horn is poping right out of the picture giving this picture a 3-D element.

  Now, this is a CLOSE UP, Emile!! Very interesting! I doubt if I would like to be quite this close to the fellow, though! Great shot and great title! (My closest encounter with a bull occurred when I was out walking with my grandma years ago in rural California where she had a ranch. Up came the bull, off ran the dogs, and up a tree we went!! He finally wandered off. There's a scene you don't forget ... !) Well, at least that horn is whittled down at bit. Love the composition!

  Wow, I really love this shot Emile. Perfect title as well. I'm sure my hubby could relate to this shot, as he has been to close too many times!!! Very well done!

  Wow! I never saw such a closeup of a bull and never expected to. Great capture with fine detail, composition and lighting. I know I challenge myself to get the shot. I bet many of us ride that boat too!

  Superb clarity and comp in this closeup, Emile! Plus, it's always fun to use play-on-words for titles.
