Dutch pride

Uploaded: June 29, 2007

Description


Flash, 1/200s, 45mm, 10.00 hour am.
In a meadow near Doetinchem (where I live) in the Netherlands this beautiful cow was enyoing the fresh, green grass. A typically Dutch moment, but such a blue, cloudy sky is rare, so a good moment to get out with the camera

Hi Afke, a cow without those tags in their ears in The Netherlands...wonderful! I live very near you as a matter of fact! Wonderful picture of one of my most beloved subjects (but hard to take any pictures of them without the very big ear tags these days...)!

Hi Ellen, where do you live? Indeed, a cow without tags are not allowed. I hate them so "cloned" them away, a nice thing I learned with the course Paint Shop Pro this spring. The rest is real!
By the way, I liked yout pictures very much!

Hi Afke,
I live in Lobith as a matter of fact...You are quite right to have cloned away the absolutely horrible tags, now the cow looks like he or she should!
Thanks for your comments on my pictures!That means a lot to me, especially since I just started making pictures of other things than my work again very recently. I have so much to learn, but I absolutely love it!
