The Gentleman's Pose

These gents usually are not particularly cooperative so far as posing - they spend the majority of their life with their heads in the grass grazing so I was gratified to get a rare head on full gaze opportunity. I was thrilled with the sharpness of focus and consequently detail in this image.

Yes the detail looks nice, and we could have enjoyed it even more if you had included a larger version! :wink: Posting of your equipment and settings would give others a chance to comment on your technical choices. I like this for the bit of saliva, the good eye reflections and detail in the shadow side of the face. I notice you are pretty new to the NPN galleries. Welcome to wildlife! Please note that maintaining a role of participation by keeping a higher comment to posting ratio will encourage others to give feedback on your image! I look forward to seeing more...
