Hi Niamh,

I can't really claim any deep photgraphic insight on how this picture was structured ;-) , since it was taken in my "point and shoot" days, before the A1, all in automatic. This was litterally a single cow in the middle of the prairies, without anything else in view for miles and miles. I actually took two shots since I really ike the contrast of the cow with the fieldshttp://www.pbase.com/image/25099222

Hi, I really like the framing of this shot and personally I like the way the subject is small in the frame. One thing I find puzzling though... the hillside seems to me to be not sharply in focus, although the cow is... Is it my monitor or what?!

Hi Claudio, I like the colors and textures and the horiozontal division of the shot into two. Unfortunately, the lonely cow is a little too small to easily identify (at least on my old 17" monitor.) I suspect the original may work better with its higher resolution resolution.
Regards,
Richard.
