I love the pop feel of this. What did you do in PP, Tim?

Loads in PP, nik filters used they were tonal contrast, polarisation, graduated ND, and some selective brightening and contrast.
Thanks for commenting

Excellent job Tim! What amazing colors! Everything practically pops right off my monitor, especially the focal cow in the foreground. It looks more like an illustration than photograph, great effect! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tim, nice pastoral type of scene. Good use and placement of the road as a leading line. I also like the placement of the dominant cow slightly offset from the center. Warm, early light giving nice color to the distant mountains.
The clouds are well lit but look a odd to my eye. Not sure if this was done in PP. I might take out the dark cow on the very far rt.(not critical but a little close to the edge) All in all well thought out...

Hey Tim,
Does have a pop art look to it.....but I happen to like it! The FG calf really makes this work and you did a VG job in the PP'ing.

Hi Tim,

I like this one. I love what can be done with the Nik filters - looks like you chose a good selection to get this look. The foreground calf makes this comp work so well. I find when I shoot agriculture imagery it is hard to make cows look good, but you did it!

I agree, this is pop art. But it's cool!
