Angus Cow Farm...

[Arbib]

About a mile from where I live, is a Black Angus Cow Farm.. Here is one of the many photo's.
What do you think?

From one 2 cent shutterbug... that cow is busy! lol

The central focus is the barn.. not the angus?

I believe I focused on the Cow..I was using my 70-300 on 154mm at f/6.3...so the barn looks like it is just out of the DOF...Should used F/8 or f/11 i guess...
What do you think...Barn or Cow for the central focus..
They can both be sharpned, with the other adding a slight gausian blur to it.

I think crop to 3 calves on left lol with the door as the background..

or crop from the right the cows hind end just to eliminate the shudders (ick factor) lol crop the tractor furrows to the cows left foot...then take the focus off the barn or blur it.

But honestly its your photo and if its a memory photo leave it alone. If you want to play in photoshop theres tons of possibilities...

Plus I sharpened the 3 Cows a bit..

the edit is better in my opinion...

I too like the edit except the line you can see at the barn.. I'm not that good a PS but I know there is a tool to soften the lines created.. just too drastic of a change..
The ick factor I was referring to was the crud on the hind quarters of the larger Angus I lived on a 12 acre farm so I'm very familiar with the ick factor.. lol
