 Taken with my new Nikon Coolpix 8700 when I was in Naperville, Illinois (Chicago Suburb) visiting family. There were "Farmyard Friends" everywhere in downtown and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. I had to grab this on our way to the airport because I realized it that morning and I got 10 minutes to photograph all the animals and get back to the car. ^_^

I chose this one (of my 2 favorites from the 10 options) because it had the sign that helps describe the photo.

Cropped, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation, Resize, Sharpen, 2pixel border.

Well exposed statue,vivid colors,longer lens and wider aperture would help here to blur the background and isolate the subject 7

I love these Naperville cows! Extra point just for making me smile. You're shot fits the category, nice close up, would like the background a bit more blurry -- as presented, well done
