Olgii Cow Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Here is a cow on the side of a street in the city of Olgii in far north west Mongolia. It was about half an hour before sunset, so everything was lit quite nicely.

What a strange scene Mike... The street looks abandoned and wrecked, and yet the cow seems to be perfectly OK (not too thin or looking ill), and enjoying the grass...
I would probably take it from the ground up - sort of like the cow's point of view, thus showing more details of the cow and less of the ground in front of her, but the photo is very interesting as is as well. Well captured!

Hi Mike...

Nice dynamics between your subject and its shadow here. I think you've chosen the right angle. However, the bottom part is a bit bluish...it makes it look unrealistic. Overall, I still like the picture. Something new.

The perfect niced colored background makes the photo here, the actor plays a minor role. Grat texture.

Hey, this is great. What a crazy building with the cow taking full advantage of the small piece of grass. I guess daily life in Olgii?! Nice shot anyways!
