Re: PAW: More Cows
Hi! Steve, it is a little hard to explain, but I think that b/w version is actually closer to my taste... The lines, the geometry is better seen this way and somehow I'd say this one rather works for me... Just my pixels... Boris ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Yes they are. Thats a fairly nice composition, it prompts me to ask, how much do you pay them to stand in the right positions...

NOTICE TO EVERYBODY ON THIS LIST: HENCEFORTH, YOU ARE TO REFER TO MR. DESJARDINS AS "THE COW MAN"! YOU ARE TO ADDRESS HIM AS "COW MAN". THIS STARTS IMMEDIATELY!" But seriously, Steve, that's really an amazing shot (quite frankly it could have been sheep, goats or any other cud-chewing livestock in place of the cows, but no matter). It really is a complex composition, but you somehow got everything to fall into place in a way which seems to make perfect sense! The fence (two lines, really, the top and the bottom, diverging from left to right), the tree on the left with it's branches merging with the branches from the unseen tree on the right, the slope more or less bisecting the image, the two cows on the slope, two more by the fence. It's all right there, all so coherent, I think it comes together perfectly, all those planes and lines and objects. It's most pleasing to the eye.

Re: PAW: More Cows
I like how the trees,or at least the branches,frame up the shot. Maybe just a bit harsh on the contrast,but a nice shot NTL.

Hi! SD> More bucolic splendor (I even spelled it right this time): SD> http://home.wlu.edu/~desjardi/ SD> Obviously, this is a picture that relies largely on composition and SD> texture. Any suggestions? Steve, I hope you don't mind me saying so, but for me at least it does not work. It is like you put in all the ingredients but somehow the cake does not come out right. Could be because there is not enough green on the soil. Could be because cows are black... I really cannot tell. I think that perhaps without the fence it would look just a bit better. But it is not possible to remove the fence, I guess. As I said, please don't be offended. It is just MHO. Boris
Re: PAW: More Cows
The contrast is a bit harsh, but I really like the converging lines created by the tree shadow / branches and the fence row. Neat how the cows line up with them. - MCC At 11:30 AM 3/14/2004 -0500, you wrote: More bucolic splendor (I even spelled it right this time): http://home.wlu.edu/~desjardi/ Obviously, this is a picture that relies largely on composition and texture.
