Just having a look through and saw this, I love selective desat unlike so many others here and I think you did a great job with this one... also a big fan of cow shots and this one is very cute!

I love animal-in-your-face shots. His pose and the selective coloring make him (or her? lol) kind of pop out of the pic. Fun pic!

Great shot, Rob! Nice choice for the challenge - the desat isn't overpowering and definitely serves to highlight your subject nicely.

This is just so great - the perspective, the composition, I keep bumping this up every time I come back for a look. I have nowhere left to bump, after this. :)
