Comment by posthumous:
I suffer from a DPC-related condition known as seeing-too-many-photographs. This makes me appreciate originality, but even originality can seem like a well-worn genre. I am susceptible to Leroy-syndrome, where I see a photo and say "oh this is an art shot" and my eyes glaze over. But that's what happens when I see a slick DPC shot!

Anyway, this says "original photo" to me, which almost turns me off, because that's not enough for a photo to say. But that's not all your photo says. It also has a personality. There is a quirky slope to this photo, the disappearance of the cows head into some larger device, the continuation of this "motion" by the bird's flight... these things don't add up in any allegorical sort of way, but they give the photo breath, life, spirit.

Somehow this looks to me vaguely like a shot from some Hitchcock film : )

I wonder what I was looking at with such intent.

you know what. i really like this. this may be kind of a twisted view on this... but it seems to me as though the cow has no head but that the bird completes him as it drifts away. the more i look at it, the more i like it. very very cool capture joe. (seen in the reaction club)

HaHa. Using that wide-angle lens as a closeup again, Joe?
It was a fun day, and well worth smiling about. Let's do it again.

A surreal agricultural crime scene, the moment after. :) Great capture, like how your horizon line takes you up from cow to bird.

You can see I'm putting that tripod to good use. I just posted the photo that I was taking at that time. :-) Thanks for posting so many photos, Joe!
