Good, but maybe a few more cattle needed to fulfil the tag.

What a sky! Wonderful light and made all the better by the single cow looking at you. Nice!

Wow, the sky is REALLY amazing! Love your PP and the colors. I don't like the yellow text: the color doesn't fit.

Beautiful light. The cow looking back at you is just perfect. The text is lacking a bit. Did you not have an option to make it "anti-alias" (i.e. smooth edges)?

Beautiful light and sky. I like the highlight on the back of the steer. "Cattle Country" sort of detracts from the shot in that location. I'd try putting it up with "Alberta" in the negative space of the sky.

If you add your text after you resize, you won't get the jaggies. Needs a few more cows to really say 'Cattle Country':-)

The text has become very pixelated, perhaps due to resizing. The composition is nice. Score: 5.

AWESOME!!!! Wish that one post wasn't "poking" the cow to the left. Otherwise - I love it.

I'd like to know what part of Alberta this is in (since I'm an Albertan myself). In any event, the image is a little dark on the left hand side. Cropping the image to just take out the cow on the left would have made this image superb. The text is a little bit blocky (of course I am not voting based on the text and I am merely remarking on it).
