KeepingCool

With temps in the 100's here in the Central Valley, animals need ways to keep cool.  This water buffalo was photographed at a local dairy farm near Snelling, Ca.  The owner has a collection of many exotic animals.
The reason for the pano crop was to eliminate other animals in the bg.

Hey Floyd,
Great title and the pano crop kinda grows on you the more I look at it. You nailed the exposure in the harsh light and the look of satisfaction on the subjects face is priceless.   laugh

An interesting crop, Floyd.  I like the idea, but I think I'd leave just a bit more on the bottom.  I love the look on the water buffalo's face-I don't think I'd want to disturb it.
