Why two people have said the bright spot is on the top left, I don't know? But I must say that the bright spot looks like it was added after the picture was taken. Whether it was or not, it is a little distracting. A more even light distrobution would be preferred. Good shot.

Nice warm colours and well composed. I think that it is a little to dark and the bright upper left does not look too natural to me.

Nice golden colors.. I would have liked to see the animals head up. Still an interesting shot.

This would be a more effective picture if the beast's head wasn't buried in the grassy stuff. Nice warm colors.

almost seems to follow the "rule of thirds" too exactly

An almost great shot - just that area of over-bright distortion top left, which is a shame, but hopefully won't hurt your votes too much. Without that, I think greater contrast would help bring out the interruption of rhythm caused by the cow more, but I guess that bright area prevents that. 8

This shot looks a bit odd with the light spot in the upper right. It's a bit confusing, but nice.

Well composed and great colour, I am a lover of simplicity in pics and this is a good example of it working well. Personally, I would have preferred the picture without the bright corner and just the gentle graded shades from right to left.
but that`s only my opinion.
Well done & good luck with it.

simplistic and well done.

Very very nice. Love the light source (although it looks surreal enough to be added after the fact), and the 'Wheat Frame' of the cow. This would have done very well in 'Negative Space' challenge as well. Great job.
