Yep, this is almost what I wanted for extraordinary. But I wanted the cow to stick his tounge out. Searched for more then an hour to find my first cow, but he was to far away, my 2nd cow did not want to come to the fence, the third run away so I send in something completly different.

OK about your picture: I like it, I will give it a 9 for now, maybe converting it to 10 later when I am done "skimming"

Why?

Colors are very good, the viewpoint is great very good use of DOF and it are pretty cows!

Comment by tallan:
fantastic perspective and a great shot. Lovely colours and tones. Very refreshing to see after a generally bad show. Gets a 9 (would be 10 but not level, not a criticism just my personal preference)

Awesome capture! Great exposure, perspective, shutter speed, and DoF. I personally think the border detracts and would bet most newspapers would not publish it with a border. Having said that - you should finish up in the stratosphere with this one.

I think the moment you have captured is rarely seen. It's unusual and it works well. It does look like she already knows she has won. Well done.

You got yourself a fantastic position for this shot! Excellent action shot, captured at exactly the right instant with her hand still on the pole and half over the bar. I like the way you have slightly blurred out the body as you look down towards the feet, impressive effect. The head, hands and upper body are sharp and clear. Maybe the crop is a touch too tight, but other than that, nothing I can complain about!

I have to question the border, but the stopped motion is excellent. I also, like the DOF with her feet slightly blurry...keeps my eyes in the area of the bar and her face.

Very nice sports shot, good camera work. I like the tight crop. The framing is very elegantly done, matching the blue sky and cutting of things out of the frame (works very nicely with the tight crop. Good job!

This is a beautiful sports action shot, but way too tightly cropped to be a good journalistic image.
