 This is my niece who took her calf for a walk and as they were coming back I caught a great photo of them. She just laughed when she looked up and saw me with my camera.

Almost out of the camera...raw conversion, little levels, sharpen, save for web.

Critique Club Review:

I didn't even know people walked cows...

Focus is nice and sharp, with a good use of depth of field to isolate the subject from the background. Color, staturation, and hue are done well. Brightness and contrast are good. Whites are not blown out, nor are they dim and dingy. Blacks are nice and crisp.

I like that the girl and the cow are in step. Nice touch.

The only drawback, is that her face is down and in shadow, which makes her hair run into the shadow, resulting in what starts to look like an oblong shape with just the tip of her nose for features.

Still this is a nice picture, and congratulations on making the top 25% of the class.

Nice colors and DOF. Wish I could see a bit more detail on the calf's face but it looks like the midday sun exaggerated the black adn white contrasts.

Maybe a closer crop would make a stronger photo...
