Put the bull on a different platform. Take the picture from below the mid point, not from above the midpoint.

Good depth of field on the pewter bull. Nice details captured. The angle you capture helps to make it dynamic and seem to be in motion. Very good.

I think this may look really good in sepia tones. Good luck!

Great viewpoint, angle and tight crop make this one of my top 5. I think that photos of ornaments can so often result in what are merely windows to someone else's creativity but when these are photographed and presented creatively (as here) they show imagination on the part of the photographer too.

Nice macro shot. Not overly compelling, invokes mild interest.

True, the best way to interpret Zodiac signs is probably this way. Pretty good DOF

Nice. Eye could have been a little sharper, but, nice.

I like the shot, and the perspective you took. You could probobly improve the composition a little, the bulls head seems to be in the middle of the frame. I like the way you blurred the background, really makes the subject stand out. You should have (maybe you did) tried the shot with a little softer light and a slower shutter speed, or bigger aperture so that the highlights weren't as bright. The right part of the picture seems out of focus, this was probobly intentional but it might have looked better if the bull was comepletely in focus. Overall very good shot.

Nice. Could have used a deeper DOF though.

Pretty good IMO - would like more DOF or the focus more on the eye/snout rather than on the top of the head which is in best focus and is where my eye is drawn.

Great job on lighting. Nice job.

Good subject. The photo need more DOF. In macro mode you can improve DOF retracting a bit your camera, using aperture with low number possible and less zoom.

I like the idea. The only thing I would change, and I'm not a pro, is maybe having the front horn in focus and the rear one out of focus. Just my opinion...nice shot though! 7

I think it might have been interesting to set this guy near the edge of the table and get down underneath him lookin up at him making him seem much bigger and more powerful. I like the fact that you didn't include his entire body. Nice clean photo, getting under him however would have
"kept both horns in focus... very nicely done though... good luck!

Noise reduction and level corrections will help this picture...

whoa, the focus makes me feel like he is gonna poke my eye out! I actually started back from the computer when the image loaded! -8
