Hi!

Steve, it is a little hard to explain, but I think that b/w version is
actually closer to my taste... The lines, the geometry is better seen
this way and somehow I'd say this one rather works for me...

Or, we could wait for GFM.  After a few beers, I may be better able to feign

Steve,

You, sir, are the Cow Man!

NOTICE TO EVERYBODY ON THIS LIST:  HENCEFORTH, YOU ARE TO REFER TO MR.

DESJARDINS AS "THE COW MAN"!  YOU ARE TO ADDRESS HIM AS "COW MAN". 
THIS 
STARTS IMMEDIATELY!"

But seriously, Steve, that's really an amazing shot (quite frankly it
could 
have been sheep, goats or any other cud-chewing livestock in place of
the 
cows, but no matter).  It really is a complex composition, but you
somehow 
got everything to fall into place in a way which seems to make perfect

sense!  The fence (two lines, really, the top and the bottom, diverging
from 
left to right), the tree on the left with it's branches merging with
the 
branches from the unseen tree on the right, the slope more or less
bisecting 
the image, the two cows on the slope, two more by the fence.

It's all right there, all so coherent, I think it comes together
perfectly, 
all those planes and lines and objects.  It's most pleasing to the
eye.

Well, done, Mr. Cow Man!  

cheers,
frank

I like how the trees,or at least the branches,frame up the shot. Maybe just a bit 
harsh on
the 
contrast,but a nice shot NTL.

Steve, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but for me at least it does
not work. It is like you put in all the ingredients but somehow the
cake does not come out right.

Could be because there is not enough green on the soil. Could be
because cows are black... I really cannot tell.

I think that perhaps without the fence it would look just a bit
better. But it is not possible to remove the fence, I guess.

As I said, please don't be offended. It is just MHO.

The contrast is a bit harsh, but I really like the converging lines created 
by the tree shadow / branches and the fence row.  Neat how the cows line up 
with them.
