Hi Didier,
A very interesting 3 D cow effect! It looks like she's going to walk right 
out of the frame. :-)

May I suggest because of the 3D effect and to make it even more so. ... Look 
at he photograph and about an inch from the bottom right hand side there are 
2 white stones close together... sort of one above the other. Crop the 
bottom area off including he stones. Don't go any higher.

Now look at the print again. :-)

I swear that cow is stepping right off the page. It's a combination of 
things, where the cow stands clean against a 3 D type background rolling off 
into the distance, the cow's shadow adding effect and depth, it's quite an 
effective photograph.

Now it's either all that or my only good eye I see with is creating this 
effect because of the way I see the world.  However I think not as it's very 
effective.

And if that's the first of a series we'll be watching for the rest.

good on you.
ted
