THE ORIGINAL CAPRICORNby

Excellent Shot!
Composition:
Very nicely composed picture! I am going to re-iterate what other commentors have stated because I believe they are quite correct, this would be a near-perfect shot if all of the horns were in the shot. In my opinion, the horns are the main focus of the shot because they are the most interesting, with that being said, it would be imperative to have all of them there. Other than than, it is a very nicely composed photo that is very pleasing to look at.
Focus:
Again, I would have to agree with those who have already commented, I do believe that blurring the background would enhance this shot in ways you wouldn't believe. This can be done several different ways, one is to have a higher F-Stop setting on the aperature (smaller aperature), and to adjust your focal length. Blurring the background helps the main subject "pop out" of the shot more. May I add though that your focus is absolutelyu stellar in this shot, very nicely done! The amount of detail (especially on the horns) is staggering. I love it!
Overall:
Very nicely done. The only things that would make this already strong picture solid would be those two small things I mentioned. A few small things though can make the difference between a really good shot and a WOW shot.
Good luck on future challenges! I really enjoy this shot a lot!
