I am a sucker for light beams streaming out from the clouds. You were very fortunate to capture nature's show and with the beams falling upon these cows in the open field. All the elements are there for a spectacular shot - the composition, the subjects, and the enviroment. The lighting is the problem. The critique is that while there is a specatucular amount of light coming from above not enough has been shed upon the cows on this picture. The cows and the fields are underexposed such that the hues appear flat and too dark. Adjusting the shutter speed for a slower speed or opening the shutter to let more light in would have shed more light on the cows correctly exposed them - the tricky part would be is that it would cause a slight overexposure of the light streaming in the clouds such that you might loose those rays that are evident here. Finding the balance between the two is sometimes tricky but worthwhile.
My guess, friesland (Holland or north Germany) probably Holland because of the draw bridge. The light from the sky give the cow a very holly glow. Great job.
Hmm hmm, where could this be. The bridge loos familiar. Is this anywhere near Ransdorp, just North of Amsterdam? There is this kind of bridge where you can jump with your motorcycle on a very small road in the 'polderland'.
The contrast/light is a bit strange. While the view is nice to cows deserve more exposure attention. I like it how you positioned the bridge to contain what could be one of the two skyscrapers in Amsterdam.

Very nice picture - unique. Exposed a little too much for the light though, to the detriment shadows - the cows are almost non existent. Exposing towards middle gray would have made this a really cool picture.
The sky in this photo looks very nice! I wish that the cows and the landscape were a little lighter so I could see some more detail on them. I think the composition of this photo is pretty good!
I like the light through the perfect clouds: Beam the cow up, Scotty! Unfortunately the foreground appears too dark to me giving the impression of see-through cows (contrast is too low between green land and cow).
Very nice! The details in the sky are awesome, love the sun rays. I wish the ground and cows were a little brighter, but I really like the mood this sets.
