    Hi, William, glad to see you back! I love the in-your-face look at this gorgeous cow (or bull). I like the tight crop, just the hint of eye and the vignette (and the wild hairdo!). Nicely done.

    I love Coos. Came across some a few years back in Nova Scotia. Great image. Captures the essence of the Highland Coo!

    Amazing and wonderful!! I never heard of a Coo but a friend of ours had some sort of Scottish bull (or something like that) some years ago that looked a lot like this, only darker.

    Chewy would be proud! Very interesting with excellent fine detail. Not sure if intentional or not but I'm picking up a bit of a greenish cast in the shadows, notably under the chin and left edge. Definitely an in your face shot!

    Thanks Randall. I think the green may be stains from eating grass

    This is darling! Love the shaggy hair, tight crop and just the nose poking through! Very creative way to view this cow and it certainly draws attention.

    This is great! Love the hair and nose! I like that you got in really close. That bit of hair that turns up is a nice touch. This image made me smile. :-)

    The thing I love besides the wonderful golden tones and the light, is that one eye just peeking through. Great work.
