major_clangerWe went for a wander around Sutton Park today; now that we have a car we're doing more exploring around the outskirts of Birmingham, and we quickly discovered this wonderful great chunk of countryside within Birmingham's suburban sprawl.
I had my DSLR with me and tried to get some interesting shots of a small herd of cows we met. I've done my best with a few minutes' work in Photoshop to bring the picture a bit more to life and I'd be interested in comments on the processed version vs the original :
Left: original, taken with Canon 400D and Canon 17-55 f/2.8, 1/200s at f/7.1, ISO 100, shot through neutral density graduated filter. Shot in RAW and small exposure tweak added.
Right: slightly realigned and cropped, layer overlays used to boost contrast and saturation.

- I was trying to keep some nearby cars out of shot.
- we were meant to be having a walk and I didn't want to spend too long being Arty whilst
Also, White Cow was being rather awkward; kept on hiding behind Brown's ears.
