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.
-------------------------------------------------------------

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 |
