Notes

• Okay, the pace is still slow around here. It's the lazy days of summer. (Emphasis on lazy.)

  I've always kind of liked photos of animals that bring a sort of portrait feel to them. While I don't think the execution of this is as good as it could be—oh, to have chosen a different aperture and have a bit more depth of field when I took this shot—it's a style I think I might try to play with a bit more.

EXIF

• Focal Length: 25 mm
• Aperture: f/4.5
• Shutter: 1/1600 sec
• ISO Speed: 200

Comments

• Great portrait with wonderful toning. It seems somehow to smile.

• Hi Jim, thanks for still returning to my site! Just browsed your animal series; very nice and as always when I look at your photos, I realize there´s a lot more to be learned when it comes to composition... Great work! /Peter

• Imperfect? To me it's perfect as it is!

• Well, I like this. I've made a few attempts at livestock portraits in the past and it's a real pain. They're always a bit skittish when you first point the "big eye" at them, and then they want to press their nose onto the lens! I like the PoV and DoF on this one.
