A very pretty rural scene, Lorraine. Really nice framing!

@Michael Skorulski: I appreciate that Michael, I've noticed that quite a few of my visitors didn't enjoy the darkness too much lol
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I'm sitting looking at this and then I go "Oh, there's a cow". Great picture Lorraine. Was the cow off to bed?

@Daroru: Thanks a lot Daroru :)
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Interesting angle and nice contrast. I like how the trees form a natural frame.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
I'd have liked to see more of that cow! as such....too dark for my taste!
8 May 2008 9:57am
@Japanalia: Yep, I figured you'd be one who's prefer the colour version G. LOL it was nice in colour, but for some reason I really liked the darkness when I switched it to b&w, thanks always
Cheryl from Boerne, United States
nice scene but I'll have to agree with Japanalia...too dark for me
8 May 2008 10:02am
@Cheryl: Like I told G. it was pretty in colour, but for some reason, that day,I loved it in darkness lol I'm moody ;)
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
And early to rise! Love the POV and the whole composition!

@Craig: Thanks a lot Craig :)
Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
The long shadows suggest it's late afternoon, I like the contrast and sort of peeping through the fence view. Well done.
8 May 2008 11:00am
@Observing: Hi Mike, I loved the darkness of it...although it was in colour originally, which would have probably pleased some of my viewers lol thanks always...
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
I love the natural frame created by the tree's , the light through the leaves is wonderful. A nice shot Lorraine.

@MaryB: Thanks so much MaryB, I appreciate your comments always ;)
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Ma première idée en voyant cette photo fut celle du titre d'une chanson française que j'aime bien de Patricia Kass (peut-être connais-tu ?) intitulée : "Entrer dans la lumière". Je l'ai réécoutée de suite, oui c'est cela elle colle bien avec ta photo. Je te l'envoie par mail.

@Evelyne Dubos: Tu es très gentille, merci bien Evelyne, c'est une belle chanson :)
T-Daddy from Dachsbach, nähe Erlangen, Germany
Nice Capture, but i think it is a little bit to dark.
8 May 2008 11:22am
@T-Daddy: Hi T-Daddy, you're not the only one...But I loved the dark mood, so I switched it to B&W...there will be more photos of cows posted in colour, I promise lol
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I like the semi graphic quality and strength it has.
8 May 2008 12:06pm
@Andrew Gould: I appreciate that Andrew, thank you...love your cityscape photo today :)
@laughingwolf: Merci beaucoup Wolf :)
@MJ: I appreciate that MJ, thanks sweetie :)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)
Anne from White Rock, Canada
Really nice composition and framing Lorraine! I find this style a little dark for you though! Not as pretty as usual! :-)
8 May 2008 4:02pm
@Anne: Thanks Anne, I appreciate that, it was originally in colour and yes prettier, but I totally fell for it when I switch to b&w, sometimes, deep dark appeals to me...what? me? Moody? lol
standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Très beau contre-jour Lorraine. Ton cadrage est magnifique!
8 May 2008 8:11pm
@standley: C'est gentil Richard, merci beaucoup :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Good contrast here Lorraine, and the details are still evident in its graphic tones, good work.
8 May 2008 11:32pm
@Richard_Irwin: I like that comment Richard lol thanks a lot :)
@martie: I thought so too lol thanks a lot Martie :)

@Viewfinder: and that's exactly how I meant it, lol Thanks a lot Vf, we'll have to call you Wf soon (wordfinder;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
As an an old farm girl from way back when, this title enhances the photo in more ways than one. Excellent capture mon amie.
9 May 2008 12:54am
@Janice Thomson: Merci ma chère, the country life, ain't nothing like it....not that I know anything about it, being from Montreal and all, but the beauty of it is so captivating ;)
