Sheesh. "blur the background more." I've heard that one myself.
This is a neat photo, and your title really brings it home. |

| Nope, I didn't shoot it in RAW. Now you've got me considering that... |

| I love the idea of this and the title is most appropriate. I think Ed's given you some excellent suggestions/tips. And by the way, in my most humble opinion, the holy grail of DPC is not the coveted Blue Ribbon, it's a meaningful and detailed comment from e301. Dude, you rock! Now did you shoot this in RAW?? |

damn, that's a good comment. wow, yes, I did bring it back from overexposed. you've done a great job of listing the problems of this shot. I just didn't know how to overcome them. |
The secret is RAW. Then you get the 2 stops or so leeway with exposure. You also get to work in 12-bit with black and white, which is so much richer than the 8-bits of jpeg - like we really think there are 256 shades of grey?
But I'm really glad you put this up - and what a finish, all the way up at 516! I've only onve cracked the 400 mark myself.

| Very clever composition and title. I like the way the cow out of the corner of her/his eye. This could be improved by blurring the background more. |

| having such a gap between the beast and the arm seems to lesson the impact of the moment, and provides too much negative space...going with b+w was a good decision |
