Colours are nicely enhanced by your HDR post-processing. Well done.

@zOOm: There was no HDR post-processing done. Do to the high contrast available mid day light, I did do some burning and dodging among other stuff to bring out the shadow detail. But, I still take this as a compliment! Thank you zOOm!
Les from Lincoln, United States

Wonderful lighting. I can see why they might be dangerous with those gnarly looking horns, I'd definitely stay out of their way. And just an fyi - your question prompted my post for today - I had been debating whether or not to include details so I guess you did answer your own question, huh?

@willow: They say that God is in the details! I don't really know about that. But, I was hoping to inspire you to post further details of that gorgeous building if you weren't already planning that. You did and what a magnificent shot you posted today. Congrats! It is also true of most subjects you know, even animals and nature. Thanks for your comments Willow!

I heard, "The Devil is in the Details" :) Guess it depends on the point of view and timing.
This is just a marvelous image. The composition, lighting and DOF are really pleasing.
