Hmmm, a "cowscape" perhaps?!? :)

Quite bucolic! I would be nice to stick a small child in there somewhere as well...

Nice, cheerful composition and colours. I would like to see a closeup as well...

And you'll tell us that instead of the melodious cow-bell sound when they are called at milking time, you get an udder clanking sound? I like the bright colours that contrast with the grass & trees, and the composition. Great shot.

Why do cows all face the same direction when grazing ?

Comment left by: Wayne Culberson (no e-mail specified)

It looks as if every one commenting is going to try milking this one for all its worth. But they look like all canner cows to me. I can't see any bull in this one at all. Personally, I like it, but then I grew up on a farm. Different folks are moooved by different things. :-)

Not baaaaad, I mean to say that its very mooooving. This isn't one of those BS shots where someone tries to horn in on some one elses's technique. I think maybe if we polled photographers from Jersey, they'd agree taht this is a very pasteur-al scene.

What, no bright green cow patties? Barry, is this one a landscape?

Well, there's not much to say except I've never seen a "heavy metal" bovine before. I might have tried moving slightly (to the left ??) to get a clearer view of all of them . . . if that was possible. The angle of the one on the right would require a little work to keep from losing it though. A fun shot!

I am so mooooved by this one I had to leave a comment. Tell us where it is so we can milk more photos out of it. But really a nice photo. No need for apologies.

Couldn't really move round to the left as it would have brought a rather distracting building into view. Thanks for all the comments so far.

Didn't anyone else notice the dog barking in the background

Udderly ridiculous landscape. Nice advert for low fat and iron fortified milk. How could you muster the nerve to take the shot with those steely eyes bearing down on you? Clever and amusing!
