Description I didn't expect the light to be so pretty that day but I'm so happy I did capture it. The colours are so delicate and warm After five minutes or so it got too dark to photograph but I was quick

I wish the cows were a bit closer because I want to take photos of their eyes one day but I guess it has to wait.

Please tell me what you think, it's my first such photo taken at sunset.

This is an absolutely gorgeous shot! You've captured the light beautifully and it gives the picture such a wonderful atmosphere! Composition and depth of focus also seems great.

I love this photo. But the one problem is the haze, I don't know how you could stop that though. 

One of the things that I like is the position of the calf. I see you have used the rule of thirds.

I also like the exposure on this photo is good. You have taken a nice compromise between the lit side and the dark side to keep the cow well exposed.


So over all I love the photo and think it is great, I like the warm yellow glow. There is not much I can say that is bad. Maybe a lower exposure, but then the cow may be too dark. Even though I said I don't like the haze It does bring on a nice soft effect.

Thank you very much for such a nice and long comment! 

I quite like the haze because it's not something that can be seen in every photo and it looks nice with the warm light, but I see your point too. And I'm glad you also looked at it from a different perspective.

I guess it looks like this because of how the sun was shining at the moment. My next photo isn't hazy at all and my settings were very similar, if I remember correctly.

Thanks again

Strasznie mi się podoba jak światło tak wszystko iluminuje ^^ I obrębia sylwetki i w ogóle ^^
Nie znaj sie, ale w mocnym świetle cieżko się zdjęcia robi?

W mocnym ciężko, ale o zachodzie słońca nie jest mocne, tylko ma inny kolor. Przynajmniej ja tak to widzę. Ciężko się robiło zdjęcia na południu Francji, a na tym pastwisku to była sama przyjemność (chociaż trwała z pięć minut). 

Dzięki, też jestem bardzo zadowolona, bo uwielbiam światło kontrowe i chciałam spróbować.

I love it, the grass, cow, and fuzzy backgroud  

It all makes me thinking about holidays and relax. The best thing during examination session, Thanks!

Truly golden hour. I love how you can see particals in the air. Those two together give me that vintage feeling on yet a crisp picture

Cows are beautiful too and have different personalities as well.

Nicely done!

The side/backlighting on the cow works wonders, and it's one of the best parts about shooting during sunset

There's not too much to improve, IMHO; the composition is good, and the exposure is spot-on, too. Maybe increast the contrast a little? Although you may lose a bit of the hazy atmosphere that way. You'll have to try and see if it looks good.

Thank you! Yes, I'm really happy about the backlight, it looks very appealing. 

I think it looks good without strong contrast. The fact that the cow is rather brown than black creates this atmosphere you mentioned. 

Thanks a lot for your thoughtful comment; I'm always happy to get feedback

You're welcome!

Sadly I don't comment nearly as often as I want to, but I felt the need to since I liked this shot so much and you specifically asked for feedback.
