Animals: Cows week II

Nikon D70s
Nikkor 18-200 @ 29mm F/16
1/180 sec

I took some of Richard's comments and redid the image. This time you can see the whole of the tree's shadow, emphasising its isolation. I tweaked the cows' brightness using the Mask tool in PS Elephants 2.0 so that the cows were rendered a little brighter without blowing out the detail of the sand and the blue sky.

Less tweaking of the palette this time. See how the sand is redder?

  1. Much better, while not so much animal its a much nicer shot. Well done.
    The colours are nice, like the blue sky.

    Cheers,
    Richard B.

  2. I like the blue sky too, which is the main reason why I didn't crop it as per Steven's version above. That said, I do like Steven's compsition of the same shot.
