Cow

NOUN:
1. The mature female of cattle of the genus Bos.
2. The mature female of other large animals, such as whales, elephants, or moose.
3. A domesticated bovine of either sex or any age.

Regarding my 'overprocessed background' - i really didn't do much to the background but due to the clutter of objects and the shallow DOF, it appeared a bit less attractive than I had hoped, but I still liked this guys face so I went with it!

Great texture and focal depth to make this pop. Tones of the subject are slightly different from everything else, also helping to give the subject an extra separation. Great photo.
