How did I ever miss this one. I absolutely love this composition, it is so amazing. Love the variety of tonal contrasts, the way the cows are coming right at you and the magnificent clouds. Absolutely beautiful composition; very nicely done! L&F
Karen Slagle replied:
Thank you so very much Mary Lou. These cattle were so much fun, followed us all over the place and right before we left the clouds started building, how could I not catch them?

Great BW, Karen. The light is so dramatic and that effect enhanced by the dark and varied tones of the cattle. Love the texture contrasts, too. LF

You think this is how the Texas Two Step came about? Gorgeous capture Karen. Love the exasperated expressions too.

Well it could be Bunny...yes, the flies would drive me crazy, don't know how they can stand the bites.
