THought I would try something new and did a duotone. I also thought I would spend the next couple of days just shooting with my 50mm.

I like the negative space alot. The tree breaks up the monotony, too. Dig the blue.

Awwww. ..my favorite subject! Or one of them anyway! That 50mm lens is awesome, isn't it? It gives you such great shallow depth of field shots. I don't know where you live -- but this looks like Texas.

Love the composition although wouldn't it be great if there were a couple more clouds in the sky? Pity you can't control nature! LOL The cow seems a bit fuzzy/out of focus. Not so sure I like the blue tones, would like to see this in true B&W.

I love duotones with country shots. It reminds me of the dustbowl times. I like the cow just looking at you with that, "Please don't tip me" look on her face.

Great scene and composition, just misses with the focus for me - maybe would have benefitted from a tripod. Also the duotone doesn't grab me at all.

HEE HEE everybody who knows me, knows I adore cattle. The tree jutting up into the sky helps with the height of the shot. I like that it's in portrait and not landscape mode. Hmmm - I might desaturate a touch of the blue, but still leave a hint of it. I like that single cloud too.

Nice composition except for me too much sky, I think it would benefit from a much tighter crop of the sky especially with the blue duotone, JMO. Hope this helps!

I think that the image may have been a bit overexposed in the cows face. I just tried doing another duotone treatment and saw a lot of the detail wash out. In the original shot, was there more detail in the cows face? |Sometimes duotones create to high a contrast in the whites, which is what happened in this one.
