I talked my husband into letting me take the camera on a 3 day business trip to Virginia. Of course it rained everyday! I stopped to photo these cows up on a hill next to the road. Both cows have calves with them but you can't really see one of them (under Mama to nurse). I know this idea is not exactly original but I like these negative space type shots so I thought I'd try my hand - and I thought the light was cool on the horizon.
Shot in raw, levels, hue/saturation, unsharp mask, neat image, dodging, burning, minor cloning, stroke, save for web.

Just check out the difference in avg votes between commenters and non! Seems to me the ones who've spoken below, know what they're saying... and I agree. Wonderful minimalism.
I like the silhouette here, I may have cropped a little higher as there is to much black forme at the bottem and maybe highlighted the clouds a little more. Still a pleasing shot and hope you don't mind the opinion.
