It was one those sunsets that makes you sit up and take notice. And you're sitting on the grass just waiting for someone, anyone to show up so the picture would be complete. When you're just about to lose hope a head pops out through the cornfield dragging behind a cow of hers.

No HDR I'm afraid.

Looks like a great road to drive on - maybe a bit bumpity. Very nice lighting on the left fence. Love the splash of red that adds interest. Looks like the human isn't cooperating worth beans with the cow.

Very nice. It could be an illustration in a picture/story book. In fact it tells a story on its own.

The story being told here is terrific. I love it.

I like how the curves are opposite the direction of the person. Very telling.

I love this shot. The flowing and disrupted girl trying to pull this stubborn and static cow toward her is a very good juxtaposition.

My one qualm about this, is the very large DOF. Either that, or processing which has lent a very clarified look to the entire image. There is just a lot to take in here, and I think that overwhelms the most interesting part of the image.

No matter, still an excellent shot, and worthy of an 8.

Who won?! Love that splash of red and the obvious dynamic in this shot. The greens are a little saturated on my screen and keep drawing my eye away from the main subjects.

not feeling the choice of processing.

I absolutely adore this. The cow is completely unimpressed and merely continuing on its path despite the urgings of the young lady trying to "drive" it. Colors, comp, light all serve this well to make it beautiful photograph with a story.

I love the colors. Nice processing.

There's a lot of charm in this picture. Not least is the way the calf takes the easy track while the person persists with the awkward side of the road. It's a simple, lovely picture. Thank you. 8.

such an interesting road, almost looks like rushing water

The cow or the woman? I think the cow knows which path is easiest!
