Comment by eamurdock:
First off, I will critique the animal - that's one heck of a cow! Wow.

Pros:

It's a beautiful and unusual animal; that's certainly it's strongest point. The colors on the beasts are nice, and the look from the mama (?) is great.

Cons:

Overall, the image comes off a little snapshottish; the light is a bit harsh, the background a little distracting, the composition a little centered. It's not a bad shot, but not very "artistic" whatever that means.

Suggestions

If you've got the pixels to do it, I think a closer crop of the face of the parent cow could be a better picture, particularly if you were able to clone out the powerlines and fence-lookin' thing. It is a magnificent creature, though, no doubt.

Nice colors. I wish the branch occupied somewhat lesser space. Still a good job!

This looks like the blind date couple from the Double Take challenge. Rather a disturbing place to be inserting a needle ==:-O
