::: Critique Club ::: [The Saj]
First Impressions: MooooooOOoooooOOOO!!!!!!
Okay, I'm kinda fond of cows....they're very strange looking, but they have this contemplative look. Your shot's pretty decent cow shot but with room for improvement.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Composition: Good capture of pose. However, it is very centered and the body of the cow forms a "blob" on the left side. I believe a tighter crop to the right would help benefit this photo.
Subject: Cute title, the subject is a good choice and is presented in clarity.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): Focus is good, the ear furr blurrs out in the background but still works. The shadow falling on the left ear tag creates a distracting element. Makes me wonder if a slightly angled approach could have removed said distracting element. The background is blurred fairly nicely but it comes across slightly noisy for some reason.
Creativity: Fun play with the title... ;-)
-------------------------------------------------------------
To improve?: Approaching from a different angle might help to remove shadow elements and make the photo less "centered". The eye on the left is also difficult to see.
Summary: Not a bad cow shot, but it misses the mark somewhat. Good detail on the furr and texture. Good expression. Nice coloring.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It is my hope that these insights are helpful, and constructive. If you have any questions regarding this critique, please feel free to PM me. Also feel free to PM me with any feedback on this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so.

| Ohhhhhh. . . what a beautiful cow portrait! She is such a beauty! Her fur looks velvety, and the greens of the grass make a great bokeh background. I happen to love cow pictures, so this one has that extra emotional appeal that makes me vote very high :) 9 |
