I got this shot on a walk around at a local animal rescue farm. This guy captured my heart. He had so much personality.

What I was going for and what came out are two different things Dee Dee. lol

But I like it. The barn this lovable guy was in was full of cobwebs, rust, dust, hay and manure. That barn had to be 80 years old so there's plenty of room for textures.

Ah now we know Swampy is a sucker for big brown eyes ! ! !
Thought I had better do this post or i would be "hounded" about preferring cats ( i do like all animals honestly )

Three good ones, Palms! And yes... I am a sucker for big brown eyes. I did take a cute cat picture that I'll post later this week just for you. LOL

Couldn't quite decide how to crop, ended up with a couple of versions.
So I did 2 different renderings.

1) AHB
2) Smudge

Both with heavy wet-paint post-processing.

Thanks, swampy

I had not thought of camels obviously as Peter posted i thought of chimpanzee's

I think both of yours are terrific and the crop really sets them off

aaawwww, da pup-pie!

i love great danes! i had some friends i used to go see almost as much for their dane as for them, but you have to be careful around danes; they are very dangerous, for if they dont lick you to death, they'll run you to death playing with you
