    Re: Poor Donkey

    the picture is good for contrast and such. but I think that the purel hand sanitiser takes away from the picture because it makes the whole thing look wierd. square feed dispensers and a curved hand sanitiser thing. I think they clash and take away from the picture.

    Re: Poor Donkey

    Tuna, I love all your barnyard photos...but this one is just too funny. I wonder what the poor donkey did to deserve being banned from feedings??? LOL. I also love the one goat looking at you, like, hey...it says nothing about not feeding the goats, buddy...

    If not for that title I don't think this image would have grabbed me really. I think this is a perfect example of how important a title or caption can influence a viewer's perception of a given image. For me this is a very sad image. In fact, in a candid moment, it had made me a little misty. It has made me feel deeply.

    Nice shot fishy.

    I would really like to see the donkey in this photo...perhaps looking forlornly at the camera...

    great photo tuna, very well spotted!

    the title adds a great deal to ones perception of this image...as almo says...there is a sad humour about it...makes you smile, and then feel guilty about doing so!!

    cheers

    Not what I was expecting. The title threw me. Which isn't neccessarily a bad thing!

    I think I would have framed this one tighter, but that's just my two cents worth.

    Well, here he is standing in the corner - alone, dejected and clearly remorseful.

    Whatever his crime may have been, however gruesome, it appears his punishment has taken it's course. Let me be the first to say that enough is enough and...
