Just returned from a road trip to Central Oregon. Did lots of birding at Malhuer NWR, but also ran into a lot of cattle drives. I am a horse person at heart--so I loved seeing this. Shot through the truck window as I drove.

Bonnie, I really like this composition. What did you do in post-processing? It looks like you've added a filter of some kind? I like the effect very much but might play with the contrast just a tiny bit to really pop those dark tones against the lighter ones. Overall a lovely image and something we don't see often any more. You were very lucky!
Thanks, Julie. Yes, it was a lucky find--although in this area it is common to come upon cattle drives on the highways. But--not always such a well suited subject! ;>)
I worked this with Topaz Clean. I had already bumped the contrast quite a bit as it was shot through the windshield of the truck. But I agree, I think the color can come up some more on this. I would like to get it to the printing stage.
Nice composition, Bonnie. I love the effect of Topaz here. Beautiful colors.
