[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is the last in the creamery/goat farm series. There were many goats lounging in the pasture, mostly in the shade, some checking out the humans at the fence to beg for some ear scratching. It was quite idyllic. You'll notice a strange atmosphere in this shot, created deliberately in an attempt to learn how to mimic something I think is called the Orton effect. There is a blur layer involved, with extra saturation and blending mode set to darken. I was hoping it made this even more idyllic-looking. Too bad I put that stroke line in there...now that I look at it again I'm not so sure it was a good idea:)

PP: standard RAW adjustments, gaussian blur layer, high saturation, blending mode darken, added another darker layer and cut out a portion to expose lighter layer underneath, added stroke line, resized for TL.

This is different. The double frame makes this more interesting. Beautiful colors. Peaceful mood where the goats look happy and comfortable. TFS
