This picture proved to me that the voting on this site is totally fixed. This photo actually received 12 "10" votes. Now that tells you something is definitely wrong. Was this some sort of joke just to see what comments or votes you get out of it? LOL. Funny very funny.

05/12/2005 10:26:45 PM
I wonder why the other guy got the brown and you didn't. hmm..this should be studied. Don't you think? LOL..
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/11/2005 09:48:54 AM
I don't know what is funnier, that you didn't finish last or that there are so many that really thought there was a cow there and didn't see it. I'm hoping they are joking but most of them really seem like they sincerely think there is a cow there that you messed up shooting. Good job.

There are at least 12 people, who have a wide perspective! (12 people gave it a 10)

05/11/2005 12:14:52 AM
well, your pitch black picture beat the other pitch black picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/11/2005 12:09:06 AM
Too funny. You didn't even submit a picture and didn't finish last. Great!

05/09/2005 11:22:24 PM
awesome title!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/09/2005 07:26:59 PM
at least give me a helpful comment for waisting my time.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/09/2005 06:08:54 PM
Not the first time this has been shot and unfortunately unoriginal, I doubt the votes will go well on this. Had this of been a cow in a field at night but then brightness levels changed so that if a user had a look in photoshop then may be different....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/09/2005 11:13:10 AM
LOL; tack sharp too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/09/2005 10:30:01 AM
completely black
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/08/2005 10:09:42 PM
Is this a joke? I don't see anything here???
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/08/2005 01:21:03 PM
Would you believe two people did this? I'm giving four for the idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/08/2005 12:33:47 PM
What a handsome cow!!! It looks like a bull to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/08/2005 02:01:34 AM
I see no cow, no field, just a deep blaaack night! Sorry...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/07/2005 05:28:32 PM
you have a lovely shade of black for your photo...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/07/2005 07:12:10 AM
Totally inspired. :)

Where's the cow? Where's anything?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/07/2005 02:01:54 AM
How did you know there was a crow there?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/07/2005 01:05:47 AM
Excellent composition, what a minimalist photograph ! :P
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 07:00:53 PM
sheer Genius ... I think either a 10 or 1 ...not sure
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 02:09:19 PM
Is this late night or minimalism?
Nice composition, great focus.. It's been done before, but what hasn't?
What a lucky find!
11pts.

05/06/2005 01:52:40 PM
This looks just like Canberra at night!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 11:54:09 AM
I love it. There are a few problems with this photo. I think your boarders are a little big, lighten up on the contrast a tadd and I would have cropped out the darker areas on the top right. Content is good. Very clear and well focused.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 10:57:23 AM
I wondered if someone would be brave enough to do this type of photo...ingenius
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2005 05:09:38 AM
hahahahaha the contraversial photo from the forums. i Like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:46:07 PM
I've got to give you a 10 for this one, after all, it does resemble my entry. Nice work :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:36:19 PM
humor and black. i guess this is dark humor.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:20:13 PM
This is just a tad underexposed. You forgot to mention that it is a black angus cow.
Points for humor :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 06:52:51 PM
HEHEHEE, good sense of humor... I think I can make out the cow!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 06:08:52 PM
Black on black not good.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 05:31:53 PM
yep, another one really late at night
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 04:36:14 PM
comedian....black cow too, right?!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 04:12:00 PM
Jokes :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 02:25:35 PM
Moooooved out of the shot perhaps? I'm sorry, but I can't see anything.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 01:55:04 PM
Black Angus I suppose? {{{giggles}}} A 10 for you... to negate the MANY 1's you will get....and for being cheeky... {{{giggles}}}
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 01:02:30 PM
black cow?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 12:16:18 PM
ok that is just funny...I'm assuming they are black cows? would have been cool with just little white spots like eyes. lol good imagination although I imagine your getting some bad comments. Tell them "don't have a cow, I was having fun!"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 11:51:41 AM
I don't care for the crop and the image could have used a little more contrast. However, the emotional appeal is definitely there. This is a great idea. Keep working at it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 11:14:46 AM
really? someone else photographed your cow, but it claims it is canberra at night
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 11:00:08 AM
Uh, no.
(but it's not a one..)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:59:07 AM
I guess someone had to do it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 10:04:16 AM
Is this a shot taken inside the cow...? :-) Might try a longer exposure time if there really is a cow to be seen there...
Also, looks similar to "Canberra at night."
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 09:32:33 AM
Poorly cropped; wish the second calf was either completely in the frame or cropped out altogether. Also, the shot is too small - the tutorial on sizing photos for challenges might help. (6) for effort.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 08:20:10 AM
I think this image would have been better if you used a white cow.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 07:10:58 AM
Nope ... I won't give you a 1.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 12:59:37 AM
You're #2 so far that I've seen pull this old joke. It was funny 20 years ago, but not today.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/05/2005 12:51:16 AM
Can't see it
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 11:45:26 PM
If this is outside the box, then it's perhaps too far outside.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 10:15:00 PM
Well, that's two in this challenge... and at least two others in the past! Don't step in any cowpies with that blindfold on, LOL.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 09:58:04 PM
Looks like a black cat at midnight. Another effort.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 06:51:35 PM
Funny!!! I like this has been done before.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 06:33:29 PM
Does the title refer to that black cow in the bottom right hand corner? I think that the black dog in the middle is the point of focus here.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 06:11:58 PM
i dont see anything
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 05:48:13 PM
it's an old joke...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 05:36:28 PM
Well I guess your hearing it about this one. Good luck
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 05:08:54 PM
oh boy....and oh well
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 04:56:47 PM
I'm familiar with the joke behind this and can appreciate that. But there really isn't anything to look at here besides a black box.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 04:44:10 PM
Hoping for Brown? All black photos seem to do well for cellar. Take a look at the lowest rated photo gallery and see that 5 of botto 20 are cousins to your shot. That figures in at 25%. Tell Bessie to head for the barn. (lol) All the best to you for your photographic sense of humor.

05/04/2005 02:38:20 PM
Is my monitor set wrong? I looked but couldn't see a cow?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:49:36 PM
I see nothing. Maybe need a little longer expoure?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:45:24 PM
...and a black one, at that!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 11:41:15 AM
Must be a black cow!

05/04/2005 11:38:16 AM

  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 09:59:26 AM
Well someone had to do it, only surprise that it's not "black cat in field etc etc"
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 08:44:31 AM
joke???
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 08:23:54 AM

really funny ;(
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 07:18:32 AM
this looks a lot like canberra...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 07:09:16 AM
I very rarely give less than 4 but this has to be a 1 - not worthy of submission.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 03:15:15 AM
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I just won a $10 bet with my wife. I had a bet that someone would enter a "cow pasture at night shot."
Seriously, in the future, try not to have the cows so centered and watch the glare on the fat one with the brown eyes.
I cant' wait to read all the "DUH" comments at the end of voting. LMAO I'll give you a 4 just for having &%$#.

I am not sure you will get a brown here. you have competition here :D
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 01:19:53 AM
haha. is this really an exposure, though?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 01:11:04 AM
If I were to explain why this were funny it would ruin in, I feel bad for those poor people who don't get this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:54:19 AM
Old joke...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/04/2005 12:36:40 AM
I knew that it would be done, you aren't alone
  Photographer found comment helpful.
