czesc!
Bardzo fajne ustawienie, dobry pomysl na zdjecie. Szkoda tylko, ze troche poruszone, rozmazane, ale domyslam sie, ze one toczyly zacieta walke i byly w zwiazku z tym bardzo ruchliwe.
Jednakze zdjecie i tak przyciaga uwage :) bo ma swoj klimat i jak dla mnie rewelacyjny kadr.
Dlatego tez max pkt :)

Great shot, Martin. I really like the composition. Strong visual impact. Lots of tension. Well done and TFS. : )

Hello Martin,

I just saw a program about "head-butting" creatures, and I believe that the bison have the hardest pound per square inch impact of most creatures.

The thing that prevents them from brain damage and death, is an air space cavity between the outer layer of head and the brain, which cushions the blow and prevents damage within the brain.

It is part of the rutting ritual, that promotes the strongest of the herd to leader, gives him the privilege to mate with the females, and gain territorial rights.
This only lasts until another comes along and challenges him and wins.

Well done on this fine capture, thank you.

Simply a great capture, Martin. Tight cropping accentuates the action. Catchlight in both eyes is superb - a poster shot for butting heads.
