Theme: Cowboy-up/ Mother with Young

[denise ippolito]

I took this image in Yellowstone and that is out West for me so it qualifies for the theme!!:)
I added an Orton effect and find edges. I also cropped it.

Composition-wise I like it lots. Well framed and very cool effect Denise. I feel the gray rock to the left of mom is a little distracting, for me at least.
What species is it? Sorry, it helps a dummy like me as I have no clue of most things that live your way.

Hi Denise, I think you framed the image well and the nice softness you created is appealing.

[Dave Phillips]

nice effect and overall presentation Denise.
I would like very much to see a version without edges....just nice and soft

Thanks guys-I appreciate the feedback. Akos, These are Elk.
Dave P.- I'll give it a rework,thanks.

Hi Denise. I like the composition and Orton effect used here. As Dave suggested, a little vignetting might be really nice.

[denise ippolito]

Thanks Cindy, sounds good.

[Dan Brown]

I like the orton effect Denise! I think cropping a little tighter or vignetting would improve this. Also, the rock is drawing my eye away from the critters, as is the light colored twig above the cow.

Thanks Dan, Good eye w/ the twig. I never even saw it.
