Eland Bull Standing in Morning Mist

Soft gray mist rests on the tall grasses of an Odisha clearing where a massive eland bull stands motionless. The animal's coat displays a smooth gradient from deep chestnut to pale cream along its flanks, against the wet, dark soil beneath its hooves. Low-angle framing emphasizes the bull's towering shoulder height and the subtle curve of its spiraled horns against the pale sky. Raindrops glisten on the fresh green leaves surrounding the creature, while the air remains still after the storm. One blade of grass bends slightly under the weight of water near the bull's front leg.
