A well composed shot of a good scene. However, you seem to have completely removed all the detail using neatimage or a similar technique. The result is otherworldly, but, unfortunately, not in a particularly good way. It has resulted in blotchy grass, and plasticky animals. A 4 from me.

Comment by Pedro:
as i'm sure you've heard a few times already...a little heavy on the noise reduction and sharpening. the effect is actually kinda cool, but doesn't go over too well in challenges. If it was intentional - good on ya for sticking with what you like. if it wasn't intentional...next time try doing the noise reduction on a duplicate layer and then dropping the opacity to retain the original integrity of the image.

other than that, I like the muted colours and the composition. the black one looking me in the face is the anchor of the image and adds a ton of character to it.

Sweet, plaintive expression, heightened sense of confinement. I hope the voters did not vote this down as being more about the calf than the fence--I think it's just right.

looks like this was run through neat image ... detail is lost in the grass and on the cattle ...

I'm not sure that I like the post-processing, it looks like a Noise Removal Software was overused.
