That's what they've got! Actually, those are pretty good looking compared to others. We count our blessings here in the States.

No, they look natural. For instance, nature doesn't produce "fat" cows like the ones in America that are pumped with hormones to grow faster and fatter.

Well, I certainly won't disagree with that, but these could definitely use a few more pounds.
Too many bones showing.

It's also the nature of the breed they have in South Asia. The healthy cows in the USA are ultimately free range and grass fed with no hormones or antibiotics, and they do tend to be a little bit "beefier" because we generally have greater resources.

This land colours are photoshoped?

Thanks, Guys.
I use a polarizer and graduated filter (for sky) to bring the exposure of both the sky and the foreground to more equal levels brightness.
Patagonia has some incredible skies and cloud formations!

Nice pics

Grofman, Incredible!!
How long was exposure? Or was the cloud like that ?
How far is the hike to get there? Altitude where u were?
Thanks
Todd

Thanks!

The hike from the trail head to The Horns view, takes at least 4 hours to get there (we got back at dark).
You have to climb over some big rocks at the rock moraine the last hour to get there (wife said never again for her - LOL).
The clouds in the background are Lenticular clouds.
They are caused from high winds, and are prevalent in Patagonia.
Cannot remember the altitude, but it's not that high at the new point.
