wow you nailed getting the horns in the frame. Wow that is a set for sure.. Nice one.

Thanks. Mark. I enjoyed photographing those beautiful longhorns.

Very impressive, Shirley. I also like the expression you captured

PRO

These horns are something to be respected.

Thanks, Michel and Joop. The longhorns are actually quite docile, unless provoked or protecting a calf.

Very very well done…
Thanks for joining my March 2023 Collection challenge. Good luck with your entry.

Thank you.

Thanks Ron. It was actually quite mellow (from a far distance). Iam not sure if it is a male or female because longhorn cattle all have horns, I believe.
