As many women dress in western clothing, it is some times asked whether they are a real cowgirl, or just dressed like one. I don't really care one way or the other, but in this case, this woman looks to me like a real cowgirl. And you caught her and presented her nicely. Love the photo and great job.
Thank you, all, for the kind words. Cowgirl it is.

HOWDY MAME would probably keep you safer ....Cow-anything ??? ....probably Not.

Great shot. Tells a story!
There are a lot of cowgirls around here in Florida, many would punch you in the kisser if you called them anything other than that (I can say this with authority, I know some of them). In this case I think politically correct is "cowgirl". Now, if you are a transgender cowpoke, or Gay/Lesbian cowpoke, brokeback cowpoke...... well I won't go on with that. Most ladies that drive Jeeps also go by "Jeep Girl", there is even a "Silly boys, Jeeps are for Girls" sticker I've seen, along with the "I drive Topless" stickers. . .... . Most farm girls would not want to be called farmboys/cowboys, some prefer FarmHer. We could probably go on all day with this one, but I'm done!!!
Good shot. A cowboy is still a cowboy so why shouldn't a cowgirl still be a cowgirl?
Y'all are missing the point, it is derogatory to bovines every where to refer to "cow" anything. It has to be 'bovine-person' to be politically correct.
I say that with all the sarcasm and cynicism I can muster.
Nice photo of the CowChick (CowGal?)

Nice work on the photo; and cowgirl is ok by me, since I have not succumbed to the inanity of politically correct speech. I still call them as I see them.
Me too. Excellent portraiture. >Alan
Just 'Cow' would fit some........

Original shot with a 50mm f1.2 on a D800. Exposure was 1/800 at f2 @ISO 3200. I was shooting from a confined space so the vignetting is the result of objects I was shooting through. Used Topaz AIClear for sharpening and noise reduction. Duplicated the image, made a sketch using a Photoshop action by Mike Warren (don't know if he's still producing Actions but I've a few of his that are as good as any plugin you can buy now). Combined the sketch with the original image using blend modes to allow the original image to show through. Thought it made for an interesting illustration. I've used the same method on other images both B&W and Color and really like what it does to an image.
