What a fun thing for the kids to do, a wooden milking cow, never heard of it. Love the comparison between the two shots and you have done a stellar job of cloning. Fantastic result Michelle. #9732678

Every little kid should do this so that they know where milk comes from. Nice job on all of the cloning, Michelle! #9732736

Nice cloning, Michelle....you have to just love that tool.....sometimes you just can't ask people to move (at least I can't....but have a wonderful story about Mesa Arch....for another time) So cute and sweet that kids had this to do.....Cheers.....=^..^= #9735187

Great story, Michelle! You did really wonderful with your cloning, no clues left at all! #9738097

First of all, this is a cool capture showing very amusing behavior from the kids as they are thoroughly engrossed with this cow and the milking process. I applaud your editing as I know it is a labor of love (no content aware fill in PSE, I think). Lastly, it's great story-telling and it is such an expressive capture. #9740603

My goodness you saved this image big time with your expertise in PS. Love the concept of milking a fake cow. Who would have thought that was possible. #9749016
