Cattle Country - 01-29-2012, 06:01 PM

Critique: NC:

A morning in the big cattle country of Western Texas is time well spent. The sights, sounds, and textures of cattle work is a subtle, yet exciting exercise in animal health that links the past with the present.

While many cultures have waned with the technological revolution that cowboy culture (especially in Texas) has endured.

NC, I know, but I must comment.

Just a beautifully done set. Such a wonderful variety of angles and effects and it really tells the story. Nice piece.

NC doesn't mean no comment Comments are always welcome!

I think NC means 'no critique.'

However, thanks so much for your comments.

Nicely done Russell. It's a tough life, rugged & hard, but still a timeless example of a life well lived!
By the way, in a couple of weeks I'll be heading through Nebo, Il. while in the Western Illinois NWRs.
