Photographer's Note
Eclipse de boeuf - Ox eclypse
The Grande Terre offers many paths and trails in the interior and along its coasts. This one leads from Porte d'Enfer to Pointe Petit Nègre (north-eastern Grande Terre) walking on spectacular 30-40m tall cliffs alternating with bays and promotories, always facing the Atlantic Ocean. In the last part you have to leave the coast to get back on the main road walking through sugar cane fields and nothing else: just some "boeuf" grazing here and there.
This photo was taken at the sunset, with shadows getting very long; this "boeuf" reminded me that famous kind of panel with a bull's silhouette you can always find in Spain.

Bravo Luca !!!
(Bravo el toro and bravo your picture)
(Perhaps you could sell this photo to the spanish manufacturers of the brandy "Veterano" that was advertised with the bull in the spanish hills...

Bonjour,
Un peu d'humour ne peux pas faire de mal :o)
Et en dehors de ce trait d'humour, reste une belle photo où le contre jour est maitrisé et les ombres sont nettes.
Bravo et merci pour ce clin d'oeil

Luca,
I don't know how I missed this one when it was posted. A very nice photo that is perfected by its creative (and very appropriate) title.
I think it's very important that you left so much sky in the image... it wouldn't have worked so well if you had trimmed out the sky and focussed in too closely on the ox.
Nicely done.
Lee
P.S. We have had several wonderful, slightly surreal cattle photos lately. Take a look at La vache qui regarde passer les yachts.

Hi Luca,
This is really a wonderful photo achieved in very difficult conditions. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
I tried to play and experiment on this photo a little bit. Hope you don't mind.

Ciao Luca.
Mamma che foto. Hai avuto un buon intuito nel scattare questa foto, non tutti avrebbero percepito al volo il risultato.
Ciao Renzo

Good capture, you must've been very lucky to get the cow pose for you like that ;) it's kinda funny, but looks nice.
Workshop looks great too.

quite cool, the color of the sky is a bit weird but the gaze of the bull is amazing, cool...

Ciao Luca,
A soft-touch silhouette is very impressive, the composition that placed the "boeuf" looking at you near the bottom of a picture is also very nice.
Have a nice day, Hisashi
