KenC - good point on the nose/snout. Thanks.Im going to try to find the original cow picture and try a different texture. One with less vignette. Thanks everyone!
Bazooka - I agree about it being pretty weak without the editing. What could I have done differently with the lens I have 18-55 kit lens and I was right up to the fence. A different angle maybe?
Well, the photo isn't there for me to look at again so it's tough to say. I would like to see the image with processing to match how you remember the scene before I could comment on what I think you could do to improve.
