A beautiful subject in a nice setting Jerry. The warmth of the afternoon light is appealing although the strong directionality of the light is approaching harsh. The dense grass and shrubs has him a bit hemmed in, maybe if his legs were visible we could better appreciate this graceful animal. Not sure if anyone else would agree or not, but perhaps this situation might call for either a tight portrait or a much wider animalscape approach...as is maybe a bit of a "tweener"???? Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of photos with the animal occupying roughly the same amount of the frame so not an easy thing to "pigeonhole".
