Delightful Donkeys

Thank you for entering the contest. There have been a number of entries with two donkeys (double delight) but I was drawn to this image for some reason. I am a fan of filling the frame with the subject, particularly when shooting animals (not literally!), so this image was always a contender.

Thank you for entering the contest. You have submitted a relevant, fun and entertaining image. I like the jaunty angle and the proximity. It almost seems as though the shutter went off by accident as the donkey is so close!

Thank you for entering the contest. Although the brief stated that I preferred not to see donkeys with heavy loads, I was actually drawn to this image. Keeping the donkey off centre gives the impression that he still has a long way to go. It definitely had an impact on me, as it made me wonder about this little donkey's life.

Thank you for entering the contest. You have met the brief with an appropriate title, and you have captured a "moment". I like the fact that the donkey is the focal point, with no other distractions. An entertaining and humorous image.

Thank you for entering the contest. I wasn't sure about this image at first but as I kept scrolling through them all, I came back to it a few times and decided that I liked it. The fact that they cannot see over the fence is what I find amusing. It's original because it only captures four ears and half a head!

Thank you for entering the contest. It's a shame there is no EXIF data as I'm always interested to find out which camera, lens etc were used. However, I like the viewpoint (ground level), and the composition, with the donkey's head almost filling the whole frame. Texture and colours work well. The little bell adds appeal.

Thank you for entering the contest. This one stood out, mainly because it has been converted to black and white, and I am a sucker for monochrome! Not only that, but the fact that you have managed to capture two donkeys together and at such close proximity to one another is also to be commended. Oh, the patience! The angle, not being head on, works, and the processing has been done well.

Thank you for entering the contest. I have chosen your image because from all the entries, I have not seen many, if any, of donkeys near or in water. This already gave the shot an advantage. I like the fact that you have captured the donkey who is drinking, and not just the two standing - it gives it balance. Colours and tones work well.
