*sniff, sniff* Even I'm getting teary-eyed! The only boat-shaped item I had in the house was a fridge magnet...that and the set from Homemade Landscapes, Cows at the Beach. After some cursing and playing around with lighting (1 60w light mounted up to the left, no diffuser) I broke out 'Ol Faithful, the Canon, and left rip for a good 60 frames til I got just the right light, angle and as much emotion as you can wring from a 3-D cow sticker.

Delightful. Everything well done. (I may know some other cows where she comes from).

Very creative! I think you should do a whole series with this cow.

It's such a sad tale...I can't give your photo a 10 but I can do almost as good...9

The sore thumb of the challenge, no doubt. Great idea, nicely set up, fine lighting, in harmony with the title. Why not? But the moon is a very pale blue...;)

That's borderline hilarious, but there's probably a part of the joke that I don't even realize.

I only seen one boat
05/26/2008 07:59:09 AM
oooh! what a pitifully (is this the right word?) little cow!
Will give it some points extra, with it become optimism, can drive proudly in its little boat over the big sea, finding a little nice island, where another pitifully cow is waiting for a new big love... :-)
