Very nice. Having grown up on a farm around cattle, this took me back.

Lovely farming/ranching photo. I love shots like this! Might help that I am also a cattle rancher here in Zim but i have a soft spot for shots like this!

I enjoy the backlighting aura effect but there seems to be a little lens flare at the bottom of the shot. To me that could go.

Looks like it's straight from a magazine. That pale golden light really shows the detail in the fur. I love this.

Nice exposure here and great rim light, but for me the image seems to lack that something to make it really stand out
