Don't take this the wrong way … the detail on the bull is fantastic, but I'm shocked that this made Top 10 with the amount of selective blur applied. It kind of looks like a toy figure with the current presentation - not that dissimilar to the miniature effect with tilt shift or selective blur on an elevated cityscape, etc.
Thank you for your comment. I am confused how you guessed my editing process on this photo. I did not apply any blur at all to this image. I actually did very little processing and it was essentially a crop, and desaturation and a touch of selective sharpening of the stag.
Well DANG there slim jim lens man! That's a super slim slice for F8! Ok, I stand corrected and I'm eating crow. Pretty cool, and thanks for sharing.

I don't like the small depth of field in black and white. it makes more sense in color, where the colors might distract from the subject. but now it's too much blur with just one thing in focus.
