Cow and calf both are epileptic. This was shot just after the calf had recovered from a fit which lasted through the night. These fits can last several hours. The mother then keeps on calling but the calf would not answer. To witness is traumatic although they don’t endure pain or after effects and the reunion is a celebration of life.

One of my favorite type of newspaper assignments is to capture "wild art", which is defined as "Stand-Alone, Feature Shot, Enterprise art are found moments that are intended to be realistic slices of everyday life" (definition taken from this glossary). These are typically images that caption themselves, not needing a lot of words to get their point across. For this challenge, I'm scoring images as whether I'd like to see them on the front page of a paper as feel good wild art. If I don't think they would make the paper, I'm then asking myself, "does it make me feel good?" If it doesn't do much for me, well then, oh well...
Nicely done! Could stand to have a little more detail in the shadows.
