Details here are simply amazing! You have a great subject with a killer BG. Love that ear hanging down. It really gives him character.

[Brendon Cremer]

Stunning image, great light, colours and awesome detail, all very well exposed, one of the best Buff images i have seen

[ramesh anantharaman]

I was just awestruck with how well you have made use of the golden light. love that subtle eye contact. And details well its beautiful.

Exceptional IQ Dumay, in lovely light. Well done , is this FF?

[Morkel Erasmus]

It's tricky to get effective portraits of these guys, and I feel you did VERY well here Dumay! Super details, excellent DOF for f4 at such close range (mind sharing the focusing distance?) and great light too.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Thanks folks...Almost full frame, about 90% and the focus distance was 17.5m...I used F4 purposely to throw the BG nicely OOF for nice Bokeh

[Hilary Hann]

Amazing IQ and detail, I really like this portrait and agree with Brendan … one of the nicest buffalo images I've seen. I might never post one again!

[Mark Wiseman]

Great light, background and detail, especially of the boss. I am not sure of that eye, as this male looks as though he is giving you a shifty look, a fuller eye would have been amazing.
