Very fine post Mary.
Suppose this is your entry for the framing contest.
If so, good luck!
Regards, Cornelius.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

Well, you gone done did it ... a -gain.

Presented us with yet another "Solita" image. :o)


The lighting elements and quality of, alone ... are a standout to my eyes.

Add in the contrasts on a couple of fronts; textures (many), cool versus warm colours, and and and ... most impressive photo.


Perhaps the technical proficiency exhibited might not be as tangible or as obvious to all ... however, I do believe that that will resonate with your viewers on varying levels. (The changes in lighting within frame comes to the forefront in my mind as a consideration on the technical front. To name the most obvious.)


This is really an exceptional photo to my eyes. Sincerely.


The only caveat that I have, and it is minor ... and undecided as well, to an extent ... is the slight perceived 'tilt'.

I don't think you have to correct it to being perfectly level (referencing where the boards in the upper right are joined vertically and then form a horizontal line of sorts that descends from left to right ... 'perceptually', that is, being the operative word). Just a tad.

Rotating counter-clockwise to near vertical with the spaces between said boards as the reference line(s) instead.


And then, of course ... there is Nestor in all of this. Framed wonderfully. :o)


Best of luck to you, Mary. And thanks for sharing your artistic and innate eye for a great shot with us.


p.s. (*pauses to read what has been written thus far ...*)

Huh. And the caffeine has yet to kick in this morning ... be afraid, very ... very ... afraid. :oP

What a wonderful shot of the cute little donkey. The lighting in this is fantastic, and I also like the blue tint to the wood. The clarity is spot on, too. Very very nice, Mary. Good luck with it in the contest.

He looks a tad shy Mary. It is a very good shot with lots of color and depth.

What a gentle looking face. And I love the texture of the wood around him. But I especially like the sunlight coming thru the window there. Mary, that's one thing I notice a lot in your photos, the light and drama at times. So very nice. I am so glad to see your photo. *Verena*

I think it is a great shot HF. It looks like it is afraid a Republican is going to give him the "what for" if he comes out. Nice to see you post again.

Hey Mary!
He is really cute! I like the light in this image and the color of the weathered wood! That golden light coming in behind Nestor is very pretty!

Donkeys are usually on the plain looking side. This one has lots of character. Would love to see all of him.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Congratulation HF for the 2nd place finish. It is a great shot and could have just as easily won the election. Probably lost because it is a Democrat. :)
