I was lucky enough to visit a local ranch when i was in Argentina, owned by a man called Gito. Let me know if anything stands out to you - I like them all.

When the sky turns like this - run. Was followed by massive hail stones (golf ball size) and broken windshield.

I like them. Cow has some highlight probs which can distract but I like the darkness in the shot with the eyes.

The BBQ shot makes me hungry for dinner :D

Sepia is a nicer treatment for the red horse trailer than the B/W picture.

The clouds are really great. Reminds me of fat tissue under the microscope. Although it is grey instead of pure white.

Thanks man - damn that cow's reflective white head. Normally i would bin a shot with such an obvious flaw but 'the look' was captivating enough to save it. :)

Excellent pics! I gotta ask.....the scary clouds are really scary, but why no pics of the storm or the hail or the broken windscreen? :shock:

Sadly i was cut off from my cam by the storm. I had left it in the farmhouse becuase we were going for a drive. By the time i got back most of the hail was melted or had reduced enough in size to make it look unremarkable.

Taking a photo of the broken windscreen (whilst the idea did come into my head) may have enraged the owner of said winscreen even further.
