Interesting shot. I'd love to hear the story behind it.

Is it possible to lighten the animal a bit?

O.K. James,

You have got our attention. What have you done to this bull! He seems to have a blue halo and almost not belong in the background. How was this out of the camera? I gather you put your camera over a fence or else you were stoned enough to get dangerously close!

Thanks. I like to push myself to get interesting photo. This not a bull. The local name is "carabao" he not that dangerous, he help the farmer plow the field. Normally, they are silent and docile, but they will give a trembling snort if they are surprised.

Since the carabao has no sweat glands, it cools itself by lying in a waterhole or mud during the heat of the day. Mud, caked on to its body, also protects it from bothersome insects.

The carabao eats grass and other vegetation, feeding mainly in the cool of the mornings and evenings. In some places of the world the carabao is a source of milk just like the cow, or it may be slaughtered for its hide and its meat.

Asher, I'm pretty sure it's just chromatic aberration. You can see the complementary yellow fringe under the animal's right horn.
