I feel that the cows are, more than the distant building is, the subject of this photo. In the future, perhaps a shot that is more focused on your intended subject would fair better.

As a suggestion, try taking the image into Photoshop (assuming you have it), and in the Hue/Saturation adjustments, take the yellow channel hue and saturation to the right a little (may 10 pts) and bright the lightness down a bit (10-20 pts) to give the yellows more of a darker, richer green look, and bring the red saturation up just a little.

Too much cow, not enough building

Tis a nice photograph - but if the building were to be the focus, it's rather lost in the background.

Stunning landscape even though the castle is small

nice shot in itself, but the extra walk to the building would have given a better chance of a higher score?

I would have prefered a closer approach to the castle ...

I see big dominent cows in a beautiful yellow green field and a little tiny castle way way way in the background. Nice cow shot (not trying to be mean, just helpful)

Looks like the focus is more on the cows, than you building in back

Somehow, when you weren't looking someone dropped a herd of cows into your photo of the castle ruin. The same scoundrel appears to have blurred the castle, lightened it, reduced it to a turret and disguised it as a silo! A crenellated silo with two windows, but a silo nonetheless. Better luck next time.

Awwwww. ..I totally love this one. I like the colors, and it's sharp enough. And, finally, because any picture with animals in it reaches into my heart and presses my emotional voting button :) Good luck!

Nice shot of cows. Oh, there's a castle in the background.... :-) I lik the composition on this one, if it's a pastoral shot of bovines. For a building shot, well... The castle is too small to see clearly, and it's out of focus. But it is a nice photo of cows...

This photo calls attention to the cattle rather than the abandoned castle in the background.

Focus seems to be on cattle here, the Abandoned Building is not prominent enough for this challenge. Foreground color is nice, but everything gets cloudy as you move deeper into picture to building.

This picture is more about the animals then the buildings. I like the picture, it just doesn't seem to meet the challenge of abandoned buildings.

The cows are here the main subject but not the abondened house, so it doesn't quite fit to this challenge. But a very nice shot though!
