Lost, but not found.

Appearing as if in search of something, this bunch of bulls were in fact basking in the sunshine in a chilly morning in Thalakkaveri, Coorg. Meditative and sculptural they strike a pose that allows one to appreciate its dominant male form.

Bull and its virile male symbolism has its traces in mythology, astrology and contemporary business too. Gladiators, Lord Shiva, Taurians, Stock market...the imagery is vast and varied.

I think the low angle perspective enhances the dominating nature of the subject.

Use of silhouette takes away the unnecessary detail. Read more on silhouettes that elevates your subjects to art forms .
