Hi Allan,
The first shot for me. It really works well. The colours are great and you have captured the perfect moment.
1st shot for me also, love the colours of the barley, great timing with Woody jumping out.
ThanksWow! Terrific work Allan!
I wouldn't want to pick a favourite!
Both are so good.
#1 is perfectly timed and has a wonderful colour palette and #2 has such a strong composition and that sky?! Great work as always!
Dirty
It's an interesting thing and quite imaginative of the artist.
Wide
It's the first shot for me. It looks real good.
Thanksfirst one for me, great colour and the dog peeking over the top adds nice interest.
TaPrefer the first one for its simple composition and monotone, well apart from the dog. The panoramic crop for the theme too.
Thanks DaveVery nice shot for closed Allan, good with the sign and half gate open too.
ThanksA great find Allan.
So they're welcoming you through the left side of the gate, and yet the right side is closed?!
Very nicely shot, the slightly desaturated look works well and the reflections on the wet roof are great.
Nice Image Allan, I like the saturation of the colours, gives a late evening look, time to close. Path leads into the picture, as do the railings on the top of the wall.

ThanksI like the processing, the slightly darker and gritty feel suits what look like a wet miserable day.
ThanksClosed
I quite like that. The processing is very complimentary.
Thanks DaveLove your choice for the snappers choice Allan, the dark BG really does make the sunflower pop out.
ThanksGood shot for closed Allan. Well composed and nice subdued colours.
I really live your snappers choice shot too. That really does pop well!
Thanks GarethAbsolutely superb image for snappers choice Allan!
Great colours and as others have said, terrific 'pop-ness!'
Thank you BobCLOSED - good composition, and processing. Closed but kinda open!
FREE - deep, rich colours, and the off centre composition works well.
Thanks ChrisAllan, your closed shot just makes me smile. Welcome signs the open door and then the closed sign. What a statement !
Your sunflower against the black background, wow ! Just so vibrant I could see this on a gallery wall. Just soo nice !
Nice sunflaaaar
ThanksFREE is a lovely shot!
ThanksLife is a great image and very nicely taken too Allan, the nice blurry BG really makes both pop out at the viewer.
Life on the farm, nicely captured with good focus and good use of aperture to isolate the background.
They scare me as well it’s that hard stare they give you plus they are huge. These two are juveniles and I was standing behind a fence there was no way I was getting in the field with them.Life
Moo
I must admit, cows scare me a little. But these two look quite cute really.
ThanksBit of a catch up from me Allan.
Wide: Really like this one, love the crop you have used also, the dog really springs out at you!
Closed: Fits the theme really well!
Snappers Choice: Lovely separation from the background, great detail too, really like this one!
Life: Great find, lovely that you have them both looking in your direction too!
Love the last shot Allan. Nice cows, and lovely colours.
ThanksGreat shot of the young moo cows Allan!
Fantastic sharpness and detail in all the right places.
Great fit for the theme - nice work!
