    I like the composition and the exposure is great for the trees and grass.
    If you can bring it up for the cow it would be great.

    This has a fantasy feel to me. It's as if the cow is just appearing from behind the tree since you can't see the back half of the beast. I like the way the cow if framed between the trees in the foreground.

    That is a great title.

    For the image you have the cow in the exact center of the frame. I suggest you crop from the right to just before the tree. I think that will make for a much stronger cow presence in the frame.

    Because the picture is too big, I only see about 1/4" to the right of the two trees in front of the cow, I hadn't scrolled to look at the rest !
    I agree, crop it there and it looks better, now I've scrolled to see the rest :mad2:

    Thats a great picture. Would be good in a country boys bedroom. I really like how the steak end of the cow is hidden. Somebody got hungery? jk might be more interesting with a white cow with black spots only because then you could see more definition in the cow instead of almost a flat black.

    I just love the trees and the grass. for me you could get rid of the cow and it would still be a cool shot.

    Agree with the comments on the crop, I like the trees and the contrast of the black angus with the green grass, just wish I could see both legs and that the animals hind legs weren't higher than the front ones as the sloping back isn't a good posture for the animal at all sadly.

    Clever shot. It reminds me of a myth, largely because the cow is sooo black.

    wow, very very nice! the fact that half the cow is behind the tree adds a lot to the photo i think, but i don't know really why. maybe coz it is just so special.

    Thanks for the Comments. I tried some of the suggestion, cropped a little more. but can't really raise up the cow in lightness.
