 Dogs brought home this skull. I placed it on my trampoline (black) and shot in full sun. Crop, adjust levels, sharpen, curves, add border. Tried to come up with something different rather than a milk or cheese shot. I could have made this look way cooler if would have been advanced editing!

this reminded me of a georgia o'keefe painting for some reason. it's a beautiful photo, i think it just fell a little too far away from subject. under a more related topic i would probably have scored it much much higher.

Great border. I'm not sure if I see dairy in the photo, but your title clears that up. Good focus and DOF.

I reallly like the idea behind this picture it is well composed and I really like the black background with the starkness of the bones. However the skull is tough to identify as a cow, it's too bad you couldn't get more of the skull to make it easier to see, maybe some horns on it or the lower jaw.

Yeh, it fits in an abstract sort of way, title helps. Really good lighting, I actually like it alot. It has a unique perspective .

this is sad and boreing, you probably killed with your bad imagination skills
08/25/2005 08:35:48 PM
Yep, thats what happens in the end. Good image, with nice detail & sharpness.

This picture is scary

Now this is a unique slant on the challenge. Points for creativity and I like the contrast of background to the skull. The hairline border also adds to the photo. 8

Kinda morbid, but makes a statement I guess. Great lighting and very affective presentation.

Looks like the dogs in that movie "The Thing".... Have a pretty good idea whose photo this is... will have to wait and see when the voting is over... good luck!

An excellent photograph!....unfortunately I don't think too many people will find the subject matter too appealing
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 08:44:24 PM
good lighting and use of black background but I bet people will vote low because this cow is no longer cute and cuddley
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 04:21:37 PM
Doesn't fit the challenge just because "Dairy" is in the title
 08/24/2005 11:46:26 AM
Nice still life, but I don't think it really meets the challenge
 08/24/2005 10:54:36 AM

I think this is a meat steer, just can't quite tell. But nice shot though.

Cool photo, great lighting but too obscure from the subject for me
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 08/24/2005 12:49:36 AM
Very clever. One of the clearerst and the most artful I've seen so far. The lighting and shadow is awesome. Perfect background and frame. 10
