Hmm, I read this as sheep from the thumbnail, shows how wrong you can be.

Pros:

A charming beast; the expression and straws in the mouth are great. Off-center composition is, for the most part, good, with a caveat... I like the sepia.

Cons:

The biggest is a lack of contrast; this is a trap I've fallen into many a time (just see my currently tanking candid entry for an example!). My caveat on the composition is that the body of the cow is a tetch crowded; I'd like to see at least a little leg so I know she's got 'em. Also, the background seems a little posterized; not a huge deal but less than ideal... and from a personal taste perspective I could live without the border but that's a more or less constant debate here.

She's a wonderful animal, and I think with a little work this pic could be, as you say, kicked up a notch. I would start from the original photo again and do the BW conversion with an eye to 1) detail and 2) contrast.

Thanks!
