HDR Cow

Nice nose ;)

Taken in Malham, Yorkshire.

The sky's a bit bleached out, but I left it that way, as otherwise the cow kind of blended into the clouds and didn't stand out so much, maybe should have used a different DOF to blur the background?

"maybe should have used a different DOF to blur the background?"

not convinced it'd have made _that_ much difference, just seems that you'd have trouble because of their similar tones

I think it looks fine with the 'blown' sky anyway - the sky is the least important part of the pic for me :)

Fantastic shot! One question for you: how do you get the cow to remain so sharp and still get the HDR effect? Did you only use one (best exposed) frame for the cow, or did you composite multiple?
