Ok... So I like this image a lot, but I've got two problems with it. First off, it's way too contrasty. It makes it difficult to focus on any one thing in the image. My second complaint is in line with this too. I see that you shot this image with a g7 at it's widest angle, as a result the depth of field is HUGE. This takes away from the main focus of the image, the old man and the goat. So what I would do is open up this image in photoshop and select the fence and everything behind it and blur it. I did this quickly (and sloppily) myself and it turned out great. If you do those two things, this picture will look awesome... Of course, if you like it, that's all that matters... -mike

I also like this shot, particularly the relationship you have captured between the man and the goat. There is a good range of tone, and I like the sharp focus on the goat's coat. Perhaps the scene is a little busy, but it is what it is (perhaps shooting wider aperture might help), well done.

This is a very telling shot! there is a story here that you have definitely well captured... I like the contrast actually but I like strng contrasts in general and I don t think this one is too emphasized. the only thing I would change would be the DOF but really its not much of a problem

Wonderful story is at work here. Leaves me wanting to know more and to see more of this man and the goat. Very nice work!

Best,
