    Very nice, Billy. thumb.gif It reminds me a bit of a series of billboards and ads that are all over Spain advertising a major distillery, Osborne, though naturally they feature a bull, not a cow. It would be improved a bit if you cropped some off the bottom. It would be improved even more if you could clone out the electrical tower. Just a thought.

    Cheers,

    Actually, i did clone out the electrical tower in one version. In my eyes it didn't look quite right. Too much horizon and not enough silhouettes i think. As for cropping the bottom, i may do that. But i have already cropped alot off the bottom. May make it too small to print an 8x12(my favorite size). But thanks for the ideas.

    Man, that's a really neat shot!! thumb.gifthumb.gif

    If you crop just a wee bit more off the bottom, the cow will be right on the 1/3 line which is where you want her. Not that the current crop isn't excellent though.

    Ecellent shot Billy clap.gif Great color and good composition in the shot. I probbaly would have composed the shot with the cow more towards the right of the frame.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I was in such a hurry that morning trying to get some shots in before the sun came all the way up. I knew i couldn't get many more. I was already running up and down the road trying to get as many as i could. This pretty much was my last shot, useable anyway. The sun is causing to much over-exposure? or blowout on every picture after this one. I just didn't have enough room or time to get the cow to the right side of the frame. And did i mention this cow would not stand still... lol. It was a fun 10 minutes tho. Thats what i think about when i see the photo...
