I wonder what or who the donkey is laughing at. Clever and creative photo. It appears to be in sharp enough focus that if the eye were made big enough we would probably be able to recognize the photographer. This photo is composed well. It tells a great story.

A good smile pic always makes the viewer smile with it, and yours definitely did that! Excellent details in the donkey's face. The eye also is sparkling with that glint of a smile! You placed the donkey well in the frame. The blurred background and scene is an excellent backdrop.
(You may want to take a look at the cloning in the front. There are a couple of lines that stand out.)
Good luck in the contest, excellent entry! :) Joan

Like your notes and like the donkey very much.
He's got a big smile going there, showing gums and teeth.
He's cute and sweet.
If I was there right now, I'd give him lots of petes.
LIke how his neck is a slight diagonal to the frame, the point of view on his face/mouth, the good focus showing him so clearly.
nice exposure with gentle light and the right amount.
nice fill of the frame.
love your subject.

    yw! i took a lot of shots today and i have one with a cow sticking its tongue out and another with a mule sort of smiling. unfortunately the focus wasn't great and there were distractions, but for me, i look at them and laugh. when i saw this, it just cracked me up even more! so glad you shared it with us.

Gee you have entered your picture in the contest. I like the way you have that smile. I think you need to check with the dentist to see it he might need to clean your teeth. This is great the way you took this one. An excellent picture. Good luck in the contest.

This had to have been one heck of a joke. Great focus, super details and a perfect crop to keep all of the attention on the smile. Good palette control. A well composed piece.

Great capture of the smile, You have movement of the head which is surprising you got such good detail on the mouth. Great pic.

He-Haw!! Great Shot. Your subject is well-focused and in great humor:) Perfect Timing! Good composition for this shot. Your cloned background is well done. It looks very natural and does not distract from the main focus of your image.
