Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Tarbini, this is definitely a stranger in a strange land :) Cows on rooftops are defninitely not a normal sight in my neighborhood... lol.. Maybe this is an advertisement on a restaurant in your area?

I think you chose a very interesting angle to take your photo. As the viewer, I can't really see the context of the cow, but I also think that adds a bit of mystery to the scene :)

I can't really offer you any improvement suggestions on this photo that are within the legal rules of DPC. However, if you want to pursue improving this photo for your own use, I would suggest cloning out the wires on the left. I would also play around with the photoshop 'burn' tool to brighten up the roofwork in teh lower portion of the frame just a little. This would bring out the detail quite a bit :)

Keep up the good work!

I think I ate here. Don't you hate people like me? Still a fantastic photo. Not everyone knows steak houses advertise this way and would be shaken up by this photo. I love how the roof shows up on the bottom and the tree right across from the cow. To me these add to this. It's a great photo deserving of a 7 or 8. PTL

it is strange, more tree would have looked better, it kind of distracts as it is, maybe a different angle.

Nice shot, very well taken. I really had hoped this was a real, live cow on the roof, so a tad disappointed to discover it's not. The telephones wires are pretty much a no-no, but ther rest is really very nicely done. 7 Swash

Great way to meet the challenge. Too bad you couldn't crop out those powerlines at the top, it would be about perfect!! 9 anyway

Good idea. Would have more interesting with a real cow. :-)

Now that would have been something to see if it were a live cow, it is definitaly in an odd spot.
