Limousin Cattle Lining Up In The Showring .

This shot appealed to me partly because the cattle were
standing up so well but also because of the expectant
looks of the stockmen trying to catch the judges eye .
It's day three of the show and we have been there all
day again , it's been so hot !! We are lucky because it
is only about 15 miles away and because we have entries
we can automatically get in every day , so we make the
most of it !!!

Great exposure in a tricky setting, good dof too. Very nice shot.

Super picture. Kind of reminds me of the old E.F. Hutton commercials, with everyone leaning forward so expectantly.

It does look serious … if your horses were entered you must be raking in the medals!

I like the size of the bull in the front. He's ready for anything. And I don't quite get the lab coats either!
Did you guys win any prizes?

Very nice Penny - I like the way the cattle all have their heads up.

Great one, that bull looks as if he's saying 'where is that jury, bring it on!'
He looks more confident than the people around him.

I'm with Pete on this one... I was struck by the sterile look of the lab coats. The shot is fantastic to me for that reason. There is an oxymoronic quality to it that appeals to me because it triggers all sorts of contradictory emotions.

Looks like a lotta "BULL" to me! LOL
It does appear as if the are wearing lab coats.

What strikes me as odd, is all the lab coats . . . .a parade ground is a slightly non-sterile environment, yet these fellas seem to have a "laboratory" around them . .gives me pause for the cows =p
