Default Barnyard Friendship

I'd like to know what you all think. This little guy was following his friend, a bull, around everywhere. True friendship on the bardyard.

F/4.9, 1/80 second, ISO 100. Monochrome in photoshop along with curves adjustment and some burning.

I like the B&W ... it might be fun to see the bull in the photo or clone out the legs to the left, which are a little distracting. Fun shot.

Okay, this was really fast and I did it with my laptop mouse pad... Is it better this way with the legs cloned out?

lefty82,

Without the legs, the friendship concept is lost. The goat is strong as a subject, but with the idea of friendship, the bull's legs act as co-subject, and one-third of the photo. Is first post the original?

I like it better with the legs clonned out, I think that the goat (?) has a great pose and expression to it that makes it a good focus, having the legs there is distracting.

Yes, the first post is the original.
