One of my neighbors. ;-) She's HUGE! HA Talk about barely getting through the barn door... ;-)

Per request, I've submitted this shot to DPCPrints...

Also, PP included: straighten horizon, crop, contrast, curves/levels, lighting/exposure, Mr. Contrast filter (this was the majority of the effect you see), dodging/burning (including around the eye), save for Web.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean spirited at all with the title either. As a matter of fact, I've been using this shot as inspiration to lose weight myself! (50 pounds down and 20 more to go!) I just couldn't help but be reminded of the old school playground ditty when I saw this big girl trying to squeeze through the barn door. :-)

Very nice processing on this. The composition's great, too, I love how the red roof just sort of teases you with its color. Very nice!

OMG - what a great title for an excellent image! I love cow pics - but this one even comes with a story of it's own. The the composition and tack sharp focus.

Excellent. You've really mastered post processing and creating a feel and style to many of your pictures. Well done!

leading lines and triangles and thirds, this is a masterful composition - a true wall hanger.

Dude, that chick is a total cow. No, really, she's a cow. Ah, to be in junior high again....

Like your processing. Highlighting the eye was choice dude. (or did that just happen?) anyways, that's my personal thought on what gives this shot a nice connection to miss 2x4 there.

I love this! I agree with Jutilda, the little bit of red really adds to the shot. That cow is adorable!! What a great photo, I couldn't sugest any improvements.

Man, why didn't you put that in frame??? I love that. That hint of red really gives it that extra punch of color. Great composition.
