Your critique is needed - when I took the shot it was the sun hitting the tree which attracted me - since processing I'm not sure about it.

Is the background too dark?

Should I clone out the foreground sheep?

I already know about the two headed cow and will do something about that.

Thanks in advance

David

David,

I like it and don't think the background is too dark - it contrasts well with the tree IMO.

The sheep has me bothered. I don't like it in, but think that the foreground would look empty with it gone. In an ideal world it would be in the bottom right corner. Could you clone it over ther with a big brush, then clone out the original. (What was that cloned sheep called - Daisy?)

ROFL - Never thought about that - the name was Dolly! :lol:

Will have a go later today

I've cloned out the other head of the two cow's in the middle distance and cloned "Dolly" from left side to right.

Whilst I don't like changing what's already in a photo, I have to agree it does make a much better composition.

I must learn how to talk to these animals so I can get them to pose for me! :lol:

Cheers
David

Meerkat,

the procssed shot looks 'just right'.

The only thing distracting is the size of the copyright.

Best regards,
Andy


some cameras, some lenses,
and still a lot of things to learn...
(so post processing examples on my images are welcome :D)

The second photo looks best. If you ask them to move then they will want a contract.

Wow, nice cloning! :D I liked the original just fine, but the "tinkered with" version is even better. :)

Yeah well, when people steal photos and replace your copyright with their own, increasing the size is all one can do. All I can suggest is that others learn to look beyond the the notice and enjoy the photo.

Yeah and some move when they shouldn't! I was charged by a cow the other day - how I found the courage to stand my ground with that bulk coming towards me I'll never know!


Thanks to you all for your comments.

Regards
David
