Favourite cows*
First Place

Leongatha, Victoria, Australia

These are some of the Jersey's at my family's dairy farm (currently run by my brother and father). I don't get 'home' very much of late, but made a quick trip over for a high school reunion.

Absolutely fantastic. Love the sharp, sharp cattle, their ears fringed with light, in front of the misty, dreamy background!

I keep coming back to this image. The cows are so soft and beautiful, and match their environment. The motion of the cows walking adds a lot of character to them too. Susan

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. Flowersand - cows are inquisitive by nature, they stop and look at anything strange, especially if someone is standing on the track they are about to walk on - Neil

Lovely! Looks like the backgound is from a Hollywood set. Are you sure it's not a mat? LOL! ~ LOnnit

Hmmm ... Never thought that cows can be THAT beautiful. They seem flowing through air, a wonderful sense of motion. This is created by contrast between sharp subject and dreamy background. Superbly crafted image.

Neil I love this one. The way the light is diffuse it enhances the cow's beauty and takes them into a different realm from everyday life... I also like how they are all looking at you. Perhaps you are one of their favorite humans. ;) Ann C

Great photo...you captured the perfect angle of the sun. One question: how did you get all the cows to look at you? --flowersand

I like the selective DOF, with the foreground cows in sharp focus and the soft background. Looks like the cows are on a walking holiday ;-)

Now that background looks like home to me :-) Love the composition here...and the setting is wonderful.
