Very nice. It's funny that I've thought whenever I travel across country that it would be cool to shoot those hay bales, but I never have...usually they are too far away from my access. I really like these.

I like the framing of your shots and last one is my favorite. The cows looked as if they wanted their photos to be taken. Thanks for sharing these!

Fantastic shots, I love them all and can smell the fresh baled hay. Even though my profession is a long way from farming. In all truthfulness I am a farmer, who works as an engineer and company owner, but always a farmer first. My roots are farming, and I continued to help out up until my parents passed away a few years ago. Thank you so much for sharing these, and thanks to all the farmers as they truly feed the world.

Ian, I've enjoyed these very much. I pass by a lot of freshly baled hay on my way to work every day and I've wanted to stop and take some pictures. thanks for the tutorial.
