This female donkey was so friendly and wouldn't back up for me to get her from a distance, unless I included the fence in the shot. Her wary friend stayeed further back to create this interesting DOF image.
Judy, I swear, you should have been a VET! You are so good at the animal shots, and I believe that's b/c they love you as soon as you start cooing to them.. (you do coo when you shoot them don't you? :)
Great POV & the composition, with that one eye! She was just waiting for you to jump on her back & take her for a spin! the one in the back, not so sure what he's thinkin' probably, "Damn! wish she'd come over here & pay some attention to me! The paparazzi always go after Doris" LOL!!
Oh how I ADORE this photo! I loved last night when we were on MSN, my message screen was right by her eyes, and it made her feel so much like part of the conversation! Man. . . I sure feel your kindred spirit to animals! Your photography conveys it too. You capture their souls!
wow Judy. This is nice. Couldn't figure out the shadow till I read the notes. I have to admit, I can't take my eyes off the focused area to see the one in the back. That's ok because the area is oh so interesting.
