Default Hook 'Em Horns?!

As a new person with a camera...I was pleased to have gotten so close to my subject matter, and it worked for my composition....in my naive opinion.

I encourage any comments or suggestions.

I this the original? If not I'd go for a wider crop. I'd try and have the whole of the animal's head and horns in the shot.

Looks a bit out of focus and the cropping isn't correcto, maybe wider crop to show the whole animal

I'm actually going to disagree. I personally like the close crop. I've tried to do some similar close-ups, but I never seem to be quite able to get zoomed in well enough
