Such an incredibly beautiful shot, but it just doesn't say battle of the sexes to me. Perhaps it's my lack of knowledge, but usually the males stay separated from the females for most of the year. So to me, it just seems like a normal shot that you'd find vs one that tells the story. Or the story is human emotions put onto an animal that doesn't fit the story, in my mind... sorry

I didn't have time, nor opportunity, to do a staged shot with humans.

This really is quite stunning. I might have cropped it tighter, IDK.

Sure, it's a shoehorn, but I still can't give an image like this less than a 7.
