Do Calves Get Lonely?

Comment by PTLParsons:
Needs a little more light IMO. Otherwise nice photo. For the contest though I think you should have cropped it more to show more of the calf. Either a lighter time of day or lightening of the shot is needed. Great shot if for a landscape challenge if lightened.

Yes, they do. Great colours. Possibly shifting the focal point more to the calf would have given this image a stronger impact. 6

This is a lovely picture, I would not feel lonely there. I think if the calf is the subject you might have shot in more on it. As it is, the calf looks more lost than alone. Gorgeous Scene.

The calf is almost unnoticeable. At first I thought the subject was the duck in the lake. It wasn't until I read the title that I realized there was a calf on the shore.

I really like the depth, just a little too bright on the right side

Interesting! I wish the lighting was a little less harsh on the right, but I'm not sure that would be possible without losing clarity on the left. I like the way you captured the storm line. The rich greens are great, focus is a little softer than I would prefer, but the range of light may have made that hard to get. Nice job! 6

The shapes in this photo are appealing. The contrast with the background also helps.

Fun image! I like your front-on point of view. I would suggest just darkening it just a little, and bringing up the contrast. This will saturate your colors more, and generally make it more vibrant.
