Well, this challenge was a lot harder than it sounds. It took me days of driving around to get any sort of decent shot of something with spots! All the cows and horses I saw were always just too far from the road. Our neighbors have a really cute spotted cat but it will never sit or stand still long enough to take a picture. Anyway, this will have to do for this challenge. Added a border this time - I hardly ever do but decided to be different for a change.
Editing: Crop; adjustment layers for levels and selective color; flatten image; midtone contrast adjustment; exposure adjustment with a slight bit of offset; noise removal with Helicon Noise Filter; add border; resize; smart sharpen; save for web.

I like this cow. I like hair on her head (is this a cowlick) and her big black eyes. I think I'd like to see her feet and left ear and all of her in sharp focus.
