Pretty good image, and I appreciate the sentiment. I have not had red meat in 42 years. However, the term "animal rights" is confusing to me. It suggests that my cat should have the right to vote because she is considerably more intelligent than some humans who have that right.

nicely done! - strong visual message; well done I think you executed your idea very simply!

This is a Holstein cow. We don't eat Holsteins. We milk them. But for stereotypical purposes, it's probably a better fit. Chick-Fil-A does the same in their advertising. I think the font is a bit much and IMO, just remove it or tone it down a little.

Well we can tell who the cowboys are. Thank you for sharing something you feel strong about. I do agree with the text on the bottum and maybe tone it down just a little. It distracts from the photo. gl

Thank you everyone for the comments, I too have had thoughts about the text treatment. But in the end I felt it was useful, but have had thoughts to change it. jawshoewhah,Nator where do you think the big majority of veal comes from Holstein calfs and dairy cows are used as well I know this because I grew up on a dariy farm. They are however a not a true beef cow, that is correct.

I don't buy red meat to cook at home. But occasionally I will have a fast food burger. When I was in highschool, I was a future farmer of america and wanted to go to Tuskeegee to major in Ag business and raise Holsteins. I love cows. Beautiful animals. But I think that God put animals here to be subject to us. Doesn't mean that we should abuse them. Anyone of an Abrahamic faith could check your Books and see that there are rules.

Anyway, I like the image. Big fan of Cows in any context. Good job.

Lovely submission. Im a veggie enough said :P

change the type. the font, at least

Yum roast beef

.I do respect your beliefs but don't forget just one thing. For maaaanyy years, humans eat animals to survive.Animals eat animals..to survive. So, how about the animals who's eaten by another animals? They have "rights" as well! Oh, and plants are alive as well, and like the animals, they can't talk , they can't protect themselves ... It's a nature thing...But love the message and the image is great. Good luck!

Nothing like a good piece of meat every now and then.

very good

I love a good steak!!! You made me hungry! On a more serious note I do see them as more than meat though, I love milk and they can also be a source of amusement when tipped over

Nice work!

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place, TTstinger!

Congratulations!

thanks everyone

This is interesting but I think the resolutions are too different. I would try increasing a gausian blur for the few farther away.

Nice mood!

you should mask the white lines a bit better to make it perfect

nice images -- masking needs to be touched up to complete the effort

Can you please post a high res version if possible?

wonderful mood- portrays the theme well. GL

great work

Amazing!

Lovely work, great feel and believable too! Much Good Luck!

I'm very touched by this image. Good luck author!

little cool

Reflections are bad...they wouldn't have reflections in rough water like that anyway...flames look a bit out of scale. Interesting idea, though.

I am always trying new things and trying to extend my knowledge. Thanks CMYK wont get time to fix this one but can take on board your feedback for next time. Thanks for your comment youri

I like the lava-water and the colors. Some red light reflected on the metal of the robots would make them more integrated. For reflections in rough water use Displacement maps, but in this case you must be carefull or lucky with the blending mode, to make it look good.

Wow! Cute aliens and love the color of the water!

AWESOME USE OF YOU OWN IMAGES... just love that.. really is great (great captures and awesome creation)
