Comment from Anne
This is a stunning picture of this calf. I think theses are the most fascinating looking animals the way their hair grows in their eyes and the their coloring. This is a beautiful little baby. I like the close up and the angle that you took this from. The way you have done the white vignette around the edges to soften the look of him really makes him stand out in the picture too. The focus, lighting and interest level are all excellent. Just an awesome and exceptional photograph. Makes you want to reach out and pet him.

Thank you so very much for the lovely review Anne, and of course also for the 6 stars. So nice to hear that you like it.

Comment from Sange
Who would think a Scottish Longhorn calf head shot could be emotive and look oh so humble?! Only you can manage this!
Love the downward glance, lighting , long eyelash, soft blurred vignette and superb clarity.
WELL DONE Cara!

I like his face and your photo. Your editing really makes it a very nice work. Composition, color and focus really good. Oil painting filter makes it look like a painting Very good work.

Aw, what a sweet little one. I've seen adult Scottish Longhorns, but never a calf before. My parents raised Black Angus, and the aren't half as cute. cainse

What an exquisite study of this beautiful calf! Your treatment of the photograph gives it the feeling of a painting. You have captured the depth of the woolly hair and gorgeous, long eyelashes perfectly.
