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.

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.

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.
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.
