I made this one in St. John in the US Virgin Islands. The island has large numbers of wild burros and this fellow came right up to my car to see what was up.

It's been awhile since I met you on Ohio Pass during that morning shoot. You sure have changed! :biggrin:

Now that's what I call getting up-close and personal with a subject. :biggrin:

Excellent job keeping the eye in focus.

I don't know, Morris. Bulgy eyes, a gray beard and a big nose. It is a damn close resemblance. The donkey probably smells better. :biggrin:

Ahhhhh, a face only a mother could love, or several mothers, or maybe 3 mothers in 8 hour shifts. But well done anyway.

Harley,

Well at least it's the right end of the burro.... I think it's begging for food...This reminds me of the small herd that's around Aberdeen on ol' 395 they stand in the middle of the road stop your car and move right in especially if you got the window down.
