Very interesting. At first, I did not like the zooming effect, but it does a great job of drawing the view to the mysterious lady in the background. Moving up to a 9.

Just enough lens zoom without making it look like motion blur...8

This is such a great shot. There's so much to admire about it. Love the gradual work to the backlit tress, the glassy reflection, the sky. I think there is what looks like an unintentionally halo over the center tree that a bit og burning could easily correct, if that is actually the case.

Pretty shot to kick off the side challenge with.

Mooooo! A little dark IMO but still a neat shot. I like the crop you used.

I actually miss those Dutch cows -- they were very scenic in the countryside when I was looking out of train windows back in my youth. Now I am stuck with American cows, which just aren't the same. Plus almost no one rides trains here as they generally only go between huge cities.

Regarding the photo, the focus on the entire relatively flat front part of the nose is great -- the ridge at the top gets emphasized nicely with the rest of the head being out of focus.

I like the diagonal pattern you created with them, & the lighting works nice to bring out the detail.

What a fun shot! I love all the details on the nose, all the little hairs sticking out! I really like how the white spot on the nose is repeated on the forehead.
