What to do?

I was in Ronda total off season in November. No bull fight, not even many tourists around.

And there it was the old bullfight arena with absolute no action going on!

Well, as I was in the museum I saw this fine little bronze sculture of the bull and had a pix of it as well as of the arena.

Voila - combining the two pixes and there it was:
The arene with this grand bull ;-D

Good idea, Jack, to fill the empty arena. In february looks even so empty. You visited the museum also...
I would place him less central, I think in the right corner, turned 180° - his hugeniss and power need more space IMO.

You have a good result here. Artistic and unpretentious. It looks very unreal bit at the same time, it gives us an insight about what this place is. Good work.

Great idea, Jack. Fun result and great colors. It looks like the bull arrived early though - no spectators, no bullfighter? :-P
Well done.

A great idea, JAck. I was in the Ronda arena, too, also off season,and I have a shot, very simmilar to this one, but without the bull..
Great PP work, very well done.

Très bon montage et idée très originale Jack. Bien vu.

Oh very fine image - and you fooled me with the thumbnail - Great arena and bull indeed - thanks for sharing Jack.

Thumbnail was really asking to see more. And what a good surprise. First, it's well done, and the result is outstanding. A surrealist image where this magnificent bull is surrounded by a totally empty arena. I like the dominant pink color in the whole composition.

Hello Jack. Your idea is very cool. The bull is very nice and the arena better yet. congrats. Eduardo

Not a bad composite, but the bull needs a shadow - at the moment he appears to be floating...

Very nice shot. Nice composition. One day I'll go to Spain to watch a bull fight...
