We 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 :

SPC unprocessed Sutton Park Cows

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.

Ooh, yes, that looks a lot better.

(I forgot to say this before, but I love how the foremost cow is looking grumpily at the camera. The clouds in the sky seem to go with the mood there.)
