The donkey isn't smiling... it's sneezing. Just look at the nose and how it's all closed up ready to expel the grass pollen. Superb job filling the frame with the donkey's head and keeping it in focus. Up the road from where I live is a donkey rescue ranch and I hear their residents' morning greeting every day. This photo doesn't make me smile... it makes me laugh my ass off (sorry couldn't help myself).

Outstanding. This donkey reminds me very much of well known picture of a famous Donkey here on FAR. The smile is captivating and contagious. I am sure it will cause many smiles in return. Of course the technical quality is extraordinary and dos not need more comment.

What a great entry for this contest! He really is giving a great big smile.
Good clarity and color, and nicely cropped to keep all the attention on his profile and smile. The natural lighting worked well for you, and you pov really caught him looking right at you.
Many thanks for sharing this contagious smile and your wonderful notes - that is a great sentiment and very true. Also, all the best to you for this contest!

Perfect image for this contest.

I'm wondering how long you had to wait, or what you had to do to get such a reaction :)

Detail and focus is excellent.

Composition and cropping is perfect.

What a fun picture.

Thank you so very much! My son has sheep. They had eaten some poisen weeds and the vet had him give each of the sheep vegetable oil. The donkey was interested and my wife gave him some and this was the reaction. We went back the next day and gave him some more and I was ready with the camera! LOL! We hurt ourselfes laughing!
