I shot this originally for the fence challenge but decided not to use it..I really like the way the cow looked painted on...This was a very basic processed photo...cropped slightly, converted to b/w with photoshop's b/w command, sharpened and saved for web.
"Yes, Funny Guy! I get it! Don't moooooove while you take my portrait! Got any more up-to-date jokes or are you still an out-of-work comedian?" (Thanks for the latitude! I love trying to put believable words into photos of people and animals.) Good job on a great photo! :)
Perfect DOF to focus the attention on the wire fence. I especially like the one little white hair caught in the upper barb of the wire. That would have made an outstanding macro shot by itself.
Not much to say that hasn't been said. Great choice of focus and depth of field. Interesting shot. And the cow's face is well-framed between the wires.
I think this would certainly have been a good choice for the fences challenge (sorry to say this but I think it is better than your actual entry). That said, I'm glad you shared it here instead.
