Taken on Sibu Island in Malaysia. This is actually in the middle of a village on the bottom of the island. I was aiming to show off the unusual setting with the cows and the lovely bright orange laundry. Of the shots I took this most suits the centered nature of the challenge.

Compositionally, I think this is one that works well with a centered composition. Because of general height of the heads and the gentl outward/downward sloping of the cows bodies, it still has feeling of "movement" and is not static like some centered compositions.
The exposure is good, if a bit flat, and the orange colors in the background really add some context and "flavor" to the shot.
Inside the head of the dpc voter -- This is one of those shots that is technically executed well, but simply doesn't have enough of a story or "oomph" to keep the viewer's attention long enough to bump it up a point or two. I suppose you could say it is lacking in "wow." It fits the challenge well, but I'm not really sure what I can offer as a way of suggestions to make it "better". Within the constrains of the challenge topic, and assuming you haven't trained these animals to sit like this, most of the "changes" would have to be in post processing, and you have done an excellent job of that so far.
Good work.
