Well...at least he'll have soft skin when it's washed off.

Wow, very unique photo. Love the contrast of the green background and the beast. The only thing that distracts are the harsh highlights (I would have partially toned them down). 9 from me.

Oh my lord. This is hilarious! I love that you can still see the one eye - both would have been ideal but probably asking a lot. Nicely framed.

Love the shot, the subject - have not seen one like this before! Something a little weird about the edges of the background, probably easy to fix.

Haha this is great, I think he went a bit overboard with the beauty treatment!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yummy..

this is quite funny. That buffalo seems to be saying, "You got a problem punk?"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/19/2006 02:39:30 AM
Makes me laugh every time I look at it. He looks very disgruntled.

01/17/2006 03:28:22 PM
I think most of the credit goes to the wildebeest, but a 10 nonetheless. ;)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/17/2006 10:16:02 AM
So I spend all this money to come to this spa...and they want to give me this mud bath...


That expression is priceless, almost like he is saying "what? like you wouldnt do it" Also love the way he stands out from the greens in the background

Definitely made me smile. And definitely a face only a mother could love. :-) Very good capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 07:17:21 PM
And to think people pay money to get those baths...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 06:19:51 PM
chocolate milk cow!

wait.. no milk from this one...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 06:13:48 PM
damn! that is one dirty beast! I love that shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 04:43:05 PM
Really great shot but I'd love to see this cropped really tight so that no green shows at all. I think it might add an element of surprise and mystery and push that camouflage effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 12:22:21 PM
Wonderful capture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 11:07:06 AM
Some like it muddy.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 09:32:27 AM
that will keep the flys off. Nice capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 09:31:02 AM
like this. Think centered composition works. good stop action and excellent timing. 8 may bump later.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 06:16:18 AM
Wow - love it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 02:09:36 AM
WOW! What an unbelievable shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 01:29:48 AM
What a great capture of life in the wild! The composition is tightly focused on the wildbeast coated in wet mud drying in the heat of the sun - talk about a mud pack:-) This beauty of a beast is cooling himself/herself off as best as it can. The splash of green grass in the background really makes the subject stand out from it's background.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/16/2006 01:18:16 AM
Like the depth of field. The colours are good, you've captured his mean look well. To be a little nit picky the grass in the bottom right is a tiny bit distracting - it's not quite sharp enough to focus on and look at it properly, but not blurred enough to not want to bother. Fwiw, a 6/10.
