Portrait of a Cow

Comment by Cantique:
Well Moooo. Nice lighting. Brings out the warm brown of the cow's coat. Too bad she has a tag in her ear but can't be helped.

Comment by dartompkins:
What a pretty cow. The composition has potential. I think it could have been improved if you had squatted down a bit, for a more direct angle on the cow and the inclusion of a bit of level skyline. The seemingly off level landscape, showing a smidge of sky on only one side, is distracting. The background cows are great.

hmmm, seems this is a recurring theme, but not an idea that entered my mind, so way to be creative! i love the positioning of the rock formation, creating a horizon that's neither here nor there, and that bright blue sky offers excellent contrast. well done!

nice texture, good sky ... but there isn't too much to look at ... it's nice, though

Comment by Pedro:
I like this. It's different. Lots of people tend to associate candids with monochromatic images, and I don't see that as being necessary. There's a certain intimacy in this image that i believe is crucial to good candids. it's not just 'catching a scene', it's capturing a moment, which i think you've done. the catchlights in their hair are awesome, especially the girl; it gives that ethereal glow that makes it almost seem like you're seeing more than just their physical selves. maybe you're seeing some of their aura too.

The older fella in his pensive state to me is just magic. I bet to those who know him, that pose - glasses in mouth, eyes lost in thought - just sums up the man.

all in all this gives us a closer look at what seems to be more than just three people standing together; it's inviting us into their relationship, whatever it may be.

Technically i suppose there could some improvements in the crop (their placement in the scene), and the focus is a tad soft, but those are ultimately irrelevant based on what the image conveys.

Very nice.
