Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Location: nj
Date: Sep 8, 2006
Aperture: f/2.5
ISO: 400

 It was a dark and foggy night, an udderly ridiculous time to try to get a shot of cows. Thus the image quality.

It's really quite rude to call her a bull after all the trouble she went to... what with the hormones and the shaving and the high heels...



(btw, this is an original farside emulation, to my knowledge, unless I absorbed and sublimated a very rare larson comic during college beer bongs or something...)

now, how do i get this off my profile page? ;-)

You did good here although commenters point out this is a Bull and in spite of the fog you get 6.17!! That is so cool :-)

Not bad, think the text bubble would have looked cooler with a small drop shadow or something like that, also the image is a bit flat for my taste contrast wise.

That is funny. I wonder how this picture could look if it wasn't done for the Far Side.

Cool. I mean, COWl... :-)) I like the composition and the simple irony in this one. The text bubble is done well, too.

I like the way you placed your subjects in this photo, the framing reminds me much of his style.

LOL... funny :). The image could maybe use just a little boost in postprocessing maybe, it's just a little flat.
