Posted by Michael Rawluk (Williams Lake, BC, Canada) on 23 April 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

Spent Earth Day shooting photos of the Earth. This guy just wanted to pose as a representative of the mighty Earth.

A Moment in Photographic History:
Photographer Maria Arnoldo was born April 23, 1906. I don’t know much about her but since William Shakespeare was not a photographer I can’t use his birthday.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
For me a nude photograph should be erotic, not devoid of emotion. The body is a sensual thing, sensuality being one of its most beautiful and meaningful qualities.

You are a genius of titles and, of course, of getting the amazing shot. The poor fellow. Do they normally loose their horns each year anyway or is he going to be the freek of the mountain? And no, please do not send him to Provo. The city already has enough of your gifts. Sasquatch has been seen roaming the mall. The lady at the information booth fainted dead away and could only be revived with See's candy and promise of 50% off ten items of her choice.

Excellent shot... and title. Will the horns grow back, like deer?

roger from Denton, United States

Man what kind of luck is this? If I had horns I would not want one like this

Kevin from OrganicPIX.com from DFW, Texas, United States

Great find, the rugged background is fitting for his portrait! He may be battle worn, but he's still a little intimidating - especially now that we are spotted - with a 'poke' in the right spot it would be over for the challenger :-)

e. from New York, NY, United States

Beautiful! Great capture. :)

sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States

He does look like he's posing for you. I see he's missing a horn? Sad. Wonderful capture. Not something I see everyday:-)

Interesting Michael, it's a case of twisted horn...!

Looks a bit worse for wear, but I am sure it has some wild stories to tell its kids :)

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

LMAO!!! What a title!! EXCELLENT wildlife shot! As it loaded I just guffawed out loud... couldn't help it.. ;-)

Why you twisted him the horn for the photo? :-))

James from Canada

Is the horn broken from a fight perhaps? Nice choice of background...really makes him stand out!
