Taken whilst Kayaking on a the Wey river near Godalming, England.
Slight crop, convert from raw upping exposure, blacks and a little fill light. Curves, levels, a little dodge and burn to balance the light on the cow, cloned a few annoying specks, vignette on a duplicate layer with a mask to not effect the cow, resize, noise ninja, border.
I was in an advanced elements inflatable kayak, which is a recent purchase ... was just a few metres away from the cow. Taken in bright sunlight which is probably why there is a tiny loss of detail, saturation not changed except for upping blacks a little in raw conversion.
Hazel was walking along the bank and took this whist I was taking the picture

Very nice. It might have been nice to see the horns in the reflection too. But maybe it didn't look good so you didn't put them there.
These hairy bovines are brilliant!
