It's a donkey's life

[ashish]

These donkeys are used by locals to carry daily supplies and firewood over long distances. Taken on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Nicely captured.

Yes well spotted. I wonder if a slight crop from the right side would give the scene more apparent depth?

And a balancing bit from the top; or have a different size ratio?

[Dave Humphries]

That's a shot which really benefits from being seen large and up-close.

I do wonder whether it is quite level though(?), if rotated clockwise, they might not appear to be going 'downhill' so much and this would match their wearisome posture.

If mine, I'd give some thought to cloning out the cable and poles, plus the long diagonal branch on right, and I'd tone done the bright one too - all these things take my eye from the subjects.

I do like the shot though; nicely timed and composed - well done.

Nice shot.
When I first saw it the 'Grand Canyon Suite' started playing in my head.
