Wonderful moment for you, and a wonderful capture. The mist sets it off beautifully, and the comp is spot-on. I'm envious

Those horns look really dangerous! I'm glad they didn't get angry enough to use them on you. 
This looks really majestic: such a beautiful creature! Great!

Oh amazing shot, why don't you try editing the curves, looks a little too light to me cause of the fog...

Ive tried, the original image was far too murky, i think i have improved it as much as i could. Ill try again and post the new image. I will also increase the resolution and jpeg quality. Thanks for the comments/suggestions!

A bit tricky that was! There was a group that came looming out of the low clouds, so i sneaked up to 'em and shot them. What was real tricky was not being able to use the flash. I tried, but the big buggers didnt like it too much!
