amy from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Absolutely LOVE this!! Love how you converted this to b/w. It has a fantastic vintage look and feel... very old European, I guess.

Alfredo J. Martiz J. from Panama City, Panama
Beautiful photo with its simplicity in composition and delicate b-w processing!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks Alfredo...there's very little processing on this one apart from the B&W conversion and the subsequent sepia tone that I applied.
@Frida: Thanks Frida!
@Vink: Thanks Vink!
@Marzia: Thanks Marzia!
Rui from Leiria, Portugal

It`s a beautiful image, very different from what I know of your photos, and really splendid. I can imagine it in large size, wow!

JoeB from Brampton, Canada
This is one of the best portraits I've seen in awhile, the lack of background has brought all the attention to him.

Russ Devan from New Hanover, United States
I really like the placement of the bull at the very bottom of the frame and the excellent use of negative space. Very nice portrait.

This is one amazing photo; such power in that bull's stance.
