This is one of a series I took the same day I got my highest scoring shot for me on DPC. It was such a lucky day as there was a couple of these guys just hanging around the side of the barn at my friends farm. Not to much done here, dodging and burning increase contrast and some saturation. I keep going back but haven't seen them quite so close again. Anyway I had a few to pick from and I know this one is pretty close to my last shot. I will be putting the others in my portfolio and hope I didn't make a mistake in entering something so similar but what can I say I just like it. Besides if he was posing I was shooting!

Excellent. If I remember rightly, you won a ribbon with one from the same series. Good luck.

The original shot looked crisper and sharper. This one looks a tad soft and OOF.

Nicely processed and good job ensuring that the white fur is not overly bleached like some of the other animal shots in this challenge. WIth animal shots, a lot of people get drawn to the eyes. Your focus appears to focused on the nose and mouth and would have really preferred the focus to be crisp on the eyes which are a little soft. Good Luck. 5.

Awesome..... and the textures, detail, & composition are just PERFECT.....

Beautiful! Too bad the lighting wasn't a bit more even, then you wouldn't have the shadow of the nose. Of course you can't do much about the sun!

It's silly not to be able to enter your best. I love the one you won with. This one is good too but the focus seems a bit off or something.

I'm having the craziest sense of de ja vu. These two photos are remarkably similar...
