Beautiful image. I like the way you placed the eye into the frame.

Great composition. There is just enough depth of field to show all the details of horn and eye, yet leave the back nicely OOF as a background.

Hi Stefano, welcome to NPN and a very nice shot to start with. Technically everything perfect and a great creative composition. I just visited your website and you have some really nice work there...so I'm looking forward to see more here on NPN.

I agree with the others on your brilliant choice of composition. However, it's a shame it's marred by your photo credit. I know you want it on the photo, but putting it right in such a crucial place distracts so much from seeing the image unencumbered by bold white type.

I like this image it really says bison to me. I second Todd's comment about your copywrite.
