This is kind of sick and twisted. I like it. ROFL

Great DOF with the looming figure in the background. The lighting is just enough to give us a hint of what's going on. Great use of red.

Originally posted by olddj: ...even cow in front has right ear oof and that is so true of the (what appears to be) yearling calf in the background

That was the point of the shot. I wanted to place emphasis on the cow in the foreground. Having a deeper DOF would have made the 2 cows in focus and the eyes would have constantly been travelling between the two. My intention was to emphasize the front cow's facial pattern.

Originally posted by olddj: ...only thing I can think of with this one is to crop it down to show just the face of the front cow, maybe without its right ear even...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I really think that such a crop would have made for a pretty ho-hum composition. I think I like this composition better.

Thanks for reviewing my image.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I doubt fill flash would have helped since I was working at 300mm on a very bright winter's afternoon.
