[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Took an early drive last weekend around the country lanes with my camera on the passenger seat and my dog in the back. Stopped to say hello to these fine beasts (that's what Scottish people call cattle). They came over to the gate to check out my dog. I asked her to sit so that I could get a shot of her in the frame but as you can see from the workshop she wasn't too sure of them.A crop and sharpen is all that was needed.

Hi Bev
What a lovely shot. You're lucky they all came over and to get all their eyes looking at you is good.
Like the shadow of the gate across their heads.
Lovely and clear shot.

hi bev,

really good shot, they are so inquisitive huh..

good details and good pov, every one has good eye contact...

very well composed and captured,...

cheers...007

Hello Bev,

The first thing I thought, looking at the thumbnail, was that the heads of the cattle looked like notes on a stave of sheet music.

I'm no musician, so I can't play the notes!

Young cattle are always inquisitive, especially if they can see a dog, and you took full advantage of this with your shot.

The rise and fall in level of their heads, from left to right, make an effective composition, and I like the way you have cropped exactly to the edges of the gate.

A fine capture.

Regards,

Peter.

I love it - these beasts are so inquisitive. And I love the WS - poor dog, she looks terrified!!
Here the cows are looking at you and your camera - but the WS you can see them looking so intrigued with your dog.
Good shots, both of them

Hi Bev,
The markings and spots on the cattle are quite striking. Looks like the herd posed for you. I actually don't mind the fence as they are shown in their natural environs. Sharpness and colors are spot on. Have a good Sunday. Best regards, Danilo

Hi Bev, and fine beasts they are, they remind me of the farm I grew up on in Aberdeenshire. Good composition of the beasties behind the gate. regards h

Hi Bev
I imagine the poor dog did not want to be mistaken for a cow.LOL. I admit the crop is much better. Those beasts seem to be in a kind of open air jail. Love the expression of curiosity in their eyes.
Bravo

Hi Bev.
I like the one your workshop of Kizzie, she is looking a bit sheepish.
Well done.
John.
