Went to Ennis, TX last week to photograph the bluebonnets and I came across this cute little longhorn.

Well, as a Sooner Cristina, I'm not particularly fond of longhorns. (smile) I'll have to admit I like this though. Excellent composition and pano treatment Also a beautiful pastel color palette. Very fine photography for my tastes - no suggestions.

Nice. Good to see the calf enjoying the peace, the tranquil scene and scent of the flower. The pano works very well here.

How nice that he posed for you so well! Neat image. I really like the comp. The only suggestion I would have would be to increase the contrast a bit to give it more oomph.
