Close Encounters of a Bovine Kind

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Love this! I'm not sure you can go wrong with a close-up cow. Great colours too. The POV makes the image and although the DOF is limited I think it still works.

Critical stuff: Not much - a bit of chromatic aberration in places and yes on reflection I would have like to have seen a bit more depth of field.

Overall: Great image - loads of fun.

When I see a shot like this, it makes me ask the question "just how does one get a shot like this", I like it!

Great perspective and I like your title. The noise on the noses and eye was a little distracting though.

It's great how the windmills "mimic" the birds' flight. 8

Took me a second to see the wind farm on the horizon, and I like the combination of that with the geese in flight. The back lit clouds are lovely. This is an image that grows on me, but there seems to be somewhat of a noise problem in the clouds in the top half of the image.

Great conception and delivery. Perfect background setting also. I had to study the details.
