My cousin's neighbour is a dairy farmer, so when I visited, I went into the rolling fields and took pictures of cows as the went down the hill.
Choosing a photo for best of year is difficult; there's so many to choose from, and what would appeal to the DPC voters? In the end, I chose this one because I thought it would be one that my sister would likely have a print of on her wall!

I wonder what it is about the bovine form which makes it so attractive to use in "negative space" compositions. I'm glad you chose this one instead of "Cow Leaving" : )
hahaha I saw this photo and started to laugh. Altho I find it a fairly boring photo I find it drawing me into the photo. Nice colors and excellent clarity. I think this would make for a nice milk calender entry. Good luck and keep up the good work in 2005. <7>
It think the grass and cow could use a little more saturation....but otherwise I LOVE this pic. So simple and yet so interesting. Did you crop it like that or take it like that?
hehehe, nice take, no doubt inspired by cowspace (check the site favourites page if it wasnt). Love the composition here, the negative space is great. THis would work better with a more level patch of green grass, but still, I do like this image for its simplicity. 7.
