Sure there are always dandelion shots.. Of course you have to vote on the photo's merit, but it makes it easy when they are as good as this

Like your shot very much Ed..well done.
It would appear that you and I have been looking at similar themes recently.

Thanks for all votes and comments. One point that I think a lot of people misunderstood - fill flash would not have helped - apart from scaring them off (and this is more than just a quick one shot snap), it would have burnt out the foreground cow way before helping with the black one. Burning etc. no hope as there just isn't the information in the black cows face at this exposure. Anyway, I was way too busy trying to stop their friends from eating my tripod :-)

Nice macro and nice uniform background. Did you have to shield it from the wind or your breathing? LOL

Excellent perspective shot. One of my favorites! On my monitor, the cow on the right is a bit too dark -- you can't see eyes.(I don't know if others can). Might check it out on a few monitors--it might be alright, but if not, you would want to dodge a little there or lighten. Very good overall!

Fill flash would have taken this photo up several notches I think - especially for the cow on the right. I like the rest of the photo very much.

Very nice. The only thing I would suggest is adjusting the contrast a tad so that the black cow's eyes and facial features might be more visible. Great angle! :o)
