Ook goedemorgen!
Yesterday I tried (with my dog) to find these ones in our forests here, but in vain.
Wonderful close up with strength in body and suspicion in looking. Nice to surround this colossus with a small frame
Have a good weekend Ruud; I hope SantaClaus will surpise you.

Ruud, what a beauty! He looks so strong and mighty, and what an excellent pose. It looks like he is giving you a good sniff to see if he likes you. Good sharpness and colours, well done.

Goedemorgen Ruud. Wat een mooi dier in een schitterende pose.
Ik wist niet dat deze ook in nederland te zien waren. Zo zie je maar ook hier leer ik nederland verder kennen.

Zeer goed. groeten Frans

Prachtig, Ruud ! Ik vind de highlanders altijd zo leuk om naar te kijken, ze zien er een beetje uit als 'oerkoeien'.

Great sharpness and POV Ruud - thsoe sharp eyes look very mean and forwarning. Grat DOF as his whole body is in focus, and the backgropund light and blurry. Very nicely done, Sam

Schitterend Ruud,
Je hoort hem bijna snuiven. Hij is zeer scherp. Het contrast met het helmgras en het glansend oog is ook erg mooi.

Medium rare, please, with a touch of pepper sauce.
Magnificent subject, clarity excellent, looks dangerous close up. How close were you REALLY?
A 'stonker' (compliment).

Hello Ruud
Years ago I (also) did see these highhlanders in there natural habitat; In the Scottish highlands and although they are smaller than our national cows , they looked Majestic over there! Mooie foto. Groet, John

Hi Ruud, what a -huge- animal this is. Great pose and good light. The mid angle of the photo makes the Highlander even bigger. The fog is nice, it makes the main item stand out more but if I may say so (need very small letters) you just missed reallity when we do take a look at the fog. Very nice photo, see you again, Richard

Hoi Ruud,

Great capture. Light and detail on the cow is really good. Looking at this I feel like it is the POV of a tiger that is waiting in the field ready to get some dinner.

TFS,

Pedro

Hi Ruud!!!

Your model over here seems really amazed with a Sony in front of him ;) but you should have advised him to comb properly before the shot. Looks as if he was trying to dig out something from the earth using his strong horns just before you arrived at the crime scene :D, you caught him read-handed in his act rather mud-headed we must say! :D

This is very impressive shot, a minotaur would have fallen in love for sure, also a beautiful color tone...naturally balanced and focussed!
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Cheers!
