While this looks like a fancy shot, it's actually a very simple photo trick I learned by accident a few years ago. Biscuit is just standing right at the end of the barn with the sun (even though it's cloudy) is lighting his face.
The camera meters on his brightly lit face which then underexposes the shadowed barn behind him. You can see his face is a little overexposed in this bottom picture because the camera was trying to pick up some of light behind him. For the upper shot I zoomed in with my telephoto lens, made sure the camera was metering his face correctly and bingo, his face looks good and the background disappears.
Handsome Bikkit ;-D.

Already commented on Instagram, but I want to add that I like Biscuit’s hay necktie.
:-) And his fleece is as handsome as the rest of him. :-)
Wish I could have a Glamour Shot where I looked as good as Biscuit!
Shhh. . .don't tell him it's not a real glamour shot. He was giving you his best side and everything. 😊
Look at that fleece! A very handsome Biscuit ~
Handsome Dude and well dressed too!
Nice trick to know as I take almost lossy as photos as I have taken of me. I am not a good subject but boy howdy Biscuit is!
You never cease to amaze me.
I love those closed eyes signifying "ah, this feels good"
Camera tips are a good thing. Biscuit is a great model.
and I love the springs of straw too...perfect photo!
