I love this buccolic capture. The position of the cows and their proportion in relation to the landscape seems to me excellent. Light and colours are beautiful, too.

#30 from my checking just now --out of, what, 32,000 or thereabouts? You know, you got me going with ratings on vfxy, and had me all screwed up for awhile. I got to looking at the "metrics" there and thinking how an image would "play" instead of just posting what I felt like posting. Finally I decided that since I have no idea or what people like or don't like --that I only know what I like-- I'm just going to post what I like and ignore how it is received --not only in terms of imagery, but in terms of commentary as well. I simply cannot look at any of these popularity metrics without being influenced. If you can, or if it moves you in a direction that you like, more power to you. I find it moves me in a direction I don't like.

@Twelvebit: Well said. As I recall, I tried to warn you about that...
Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Ok, let me clarify a couple of things: 1) I should have said, I got to looking at the metrics and it screwed me up for awhile, not that you had me all screwed up; and 2) when I say "ignore the reception" in terms of imagery and commentary, I don't mean I intend to ignore criticism that helps me develop my photography. You've made some critical remarks, like, for instance, suggesting I crop out some distracting element from a photo, and I've many times considered your suggestions and decided that an image would indeed be improved.. I just mean that if people don't like or respond to an image or something I say, as a matter of taste, I'm not going to post something seeking a more popular response.

@Twelvebit: thanks for the clarification but that's actually pretty much how i interpreted your comment to begin with :)
i think it's a very good idea to not allow some random popularity algorithm influence how you do your photography, i also recognize it's hard to do that. wish i had a solution to that, all i can say is i totally respect however it is you choose to deal with that issue

Very well composed. I really like how everything here fits together. Whats even more impressive is that I thought it was done by an SLR camera but no its a camera I told my friend to get last year, the Sony W55. Nice work...a favourite for me.

This picture made me laugh out loud. Great composition and sense of humor. And, thanks for the heads up about the buggy comments. I think all is working now...

Funny how this seems to break compositional "rules" but yet works nicely. I guess it's the pair of cows that bring balance. I like it.

@Luis A. De Jesus R.: thanks! very glad you like it :)
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
There's something about your compositions and presentation style that gives your images a very special look, and this one is a great example of that. If I have to say any more to convince anyone of this, that means they've missed the point!

@Andrew Gould: wow, thanks a lot! that's very kind of you!
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Really like the strong composition and the colors have a flat quality that is quite intriguing. Nice work.

It's like you've caught them doing something they're not supposed to be doing. Think they're making a break for it?

Interesting composition...I like it. I also like the processing of the colors and (of course) the light. :)

Such a calming image – love the cows flanking he old tree – such a contrast from the previous scene – hope this area is spared of wildfire calamity.
