April 28 2004:
Cattle

Seale, Surrey

It’s been so dull and dismal today, but I felt like doing an outside shot. I took this shot as a reserve and actually went out for some night shots as well. They weren’t that great so I resorted to enhancing this one. I applied duotone (of course), a little contrast but also used the Curves option which seems to have done the trick. The background is of a similar tone to the cattle themselves so it wasn’t the ideal monochrome image to deal with.

Ray - one of my favourite subjects!! A BIG awwwwww! from Jayne just now! Good job in duo tone. I know what you mean about the weather but you have still turned in a good shot?

Moooo, moo, moo, moo-moo, mooooooo. Moo, moo, moooooo, moo moo moo moo moo!

Ray, she says she would have prefered matching earings but is basically happy. Also she wants to know what we think of her new hair colour, is it too much? Does white suit her?

The sepia does well here . . . and her earring . . .AH! the perfect touch, albeit a bit Madonna-ish, doncha think?
Guest 28-Apr-2004 23:36
THis is very nice, Ray. The toning is perfect, really works in this one!!
Guest 28-Apr-2004 23:35
This is great! In the middle of a crowd and yet isolated from all the others. Very emotive, and great job with the toning!

Great shot Ray, but don't let David Blunkett see it - it might give him ideas !
Joseph Tidwell28-Apr-2004 22:57
I like the composition, and the lighting and tones are wonderful.
Guest 28-Apr-2004 22:47
Aren't we all tagged and numbered in this world?
Sepia tone really expresses the composition. Excellent shot.
