Was at a country museum and met a very friendly cow that actually posed for me. I thought it reminded me of cheese and I got home and found out its the same kind as Belle the Blue Bell cheese cow.

I'd be inclined to try and clone out the 1/4 of a cow at camera left...

Very funny shot! :D

Thanks Guys. Just used my kit lens as I was taking other wide shots and remembered reading about cool perspective with wide angle close-ups. I may try to clone out the other cow as I originally though about giving it a try when I had a few spare minutes.

Great shot...I'm with Jay, getting rid of the other cow will make this a wall hanger.

Cloned out the cow butt and a few other minute distractions. Thanks for the feedback so far.

Edit: re-re-edit...fixed the fence and blended the grass and treeline a bit. . That cow's butt was really in the way

I'd go back and make the fence in the background look less "cloned" but yeah, this is definitely better!

:D

Ya know I was on the fence about that myself, no pun intended. I was hoping I could slip it by but I suppose it's hard to deceive a man with 53k posts on here :)

Well I patched it up a bit and tried to break up the pattern in the fence line and the surrounding grass and tree line. Its an improvement, let me know what you think.

Ill swap it out with the current revision.

Don't let my post count fool you...

I'm known to be very wrong, very often! :lol:

Looks Great! Print -> Hang -> Admire!

Well, I agreed with you and I am always right ;) After posting the edit noticed one last thing and I cleaned up the slight halo around the cow's belly. And in that process I decided to remove the ear tags and that crazy lever in front of the brown building. The danger of being a perfectionist.

Thanks again.
