    A very interesting looking cow Andreas...looks like they have a very high forehead with a cool hairdo too :) I might be tempeted to clone out the tiny bit of dried grass on the cows cheek if it were mine. Very nice capture!

    Hi Andreas - She seems to be giving you a bit of a once over. Nice pose and eye contact with good detail. I like the symmetry of the horns and ears from the centered pose. You handled the oof grass at the bottom of the frame well. Nice one.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Andreas -- These are amazing creatures and the largest wild cattles in the world. You have very nicely exposed the subject as more often then not people just find it difficult to get that correct exposure on them . The high iso has not affected the finer details that much . Very nicely done .

    TFS !

    Hi Andreas, I think the DoF is just to shallow and the crop isn't grabbing me. I would have liked the 500 with the 1.4, and gone tighter in and portrait.

    Andreas, always nice to see these with their funky Beatles-hairdo.
    I like the shallow DOF here, can see it working with a slightly closer crop (as per Steve).
