good title, croping would have helped, along witha fill flash maybe.

Excellent mega-macro! The detail is awesome despite the shallow DOF.

I really like the composition of this photo, however the lighting and focus could be improved, in my opinion. I can hardly see the faces of the cows. It does meet the challenge. Good luck in the contest.

Increased DOF here would be nice. Great closeup, but is it too close?

You're on the right track with this. I love the way they're all looking out at me. Couple of suggestions, if I may. First of all, a little + gamma adjustment might bring out some detail in the dark areas of the cows. A little fill flash would have worked, too. Also, the composition isn't working for me. Having the horizon right in the center makes for a very static feel. You might have gotten closer and lower to the ground to give the cows a more looming look. Shooting through the fence would have rid the image of that distraction, too.

Pretty, but needs more sharpness - try a narrower aperture for more DOF. Colours and composition are good.

the subjects are a little underexposed, it might have helped to spot meter on the white areas on the cows' legs.
