Nice scene (would have worked for the Weather Challenge, too!) Focus seems more on the city and the weather than the cows, they seem less than sharp, as if foreground materiel. Focus down at the cows, hold the focal lock, then look up more. 6 Rob the Swash

nice image, it feels like there is too much open space here, maybe by getting closer to the animals could have helped, also the image is a little blurry, but other than those two things its pretty good

Nice sky but cattle not distinct enough.

i like the cows with the building in the background, the clouds are fantastic. the focus on the cows is too soft and there is a slight angle to the horizon you could have fixed by rotating the photo a bit.

I like the clouds, the mountains and the cityscape in the background. However, the cows seem a little too far away. Since the challenge is fauna, I think that the focus should have primarily been them, in my opinion. In this case, if you would have been able to get a little closer to them, it would have been better. The lighting is a little dark and the cows are blurry.

First let me get a criticism out of the way and say I am not keen on this style of border AT ALL.

Apart from this I like this picture - it's a lovely landscape shot and the theme is there to see. Maybe it could have done with being a little closer to the subject though.

straighten it

Mooo! I would have prefered more of a close up, but I guess they would have run away if you'd gone any closer right? A zoom might have helped here.

picture lacks interest.
are the cows the subject? if yes, they should be closer/larger.
I don't know why you used clouds in the picture or why you used Reno in the title. The challenge is fauna
