Hallo Hartmut!
Das Erinnert mich an die Kapverden und verstärkt meine Vorfreude sehr.
S&W gibt dem Bild einen nostalgischen touch und die Qulität ist gut.
Gruß und schönes WE,
Leo

Hi Albert, Interesting picture and your note informs me of something I was unaware of. Are these wild or domestic animals? Are they used in a work environment or as pack animals? Excellent tones to the picture and striking portraits of the two animals. Good Work. Regards, Roger

Hallo Hartmut. Neugierige Esel. Ein originelles Motiv. Solche Begegnungen machen Wanderung erst interessant. Sehr schön. Viele Grüße und ein schönes wochenende, Wolfgang.

Bonjour Hartmut,
un duotone qui renforce bien les contrastes et les détails, un ciel peu encourageant qui délivre des lumières qui ne sont pas les meilleures pour faire exploser les couleurs, d'où ce choix de b&w que j'aime beaucoup.
Une photo douce et sympathqiue.
Have a great w-e.
Daniel.

Hello Hartmut,
Lovely composition with very nice B&W presentation. A few years ago in Greece, donkeys was the most popular animal for rural works, but now is a rare sight.
Greetings from Greece, Vasilis.

Hi Hartmut,
Excellent closeup and very good conversion. The details of the donkeys are beautifully rendered with fine sharpness and detail. Very well done.
Regards,
Darek

Hello Hartmut

After studying your photo, i realized something. The donkey's fur blends in almost 100% with the surrounding vegetation. They camoflage perfectly!
I also enjoy the contrasting greys with sprinkels of white on the rocks and on the donkey's head.
well done

Hi Hartmut,
There is a clear timeless feel here, this picture could actually been taken anytime in the last 150 years, nothing modern here to reveal the original moment... A very good B&W picture with these donkeys and the drystone wall!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Hartmut, I couldn;t resist this photo. It is rendered so beautifully and the monochrome was an excellent choice. Wondeful DOF and inclusion of the brick wall help us to conclude that this could only be Ireland. I like it alot, congrats and have a great Sunday, Lisa

ciao Hartmut,
simpatica scenetta con un buon viraggio e il muretto in FG a coprire il muso di uno degli animali.
Il cielo nuvoloso crea una piacevole atmosfera.
buona giornata
maurizio
