Excellent. Slightly disorienting when you try to figure out how it was shot. The water adds a great effect to the straightforward composition and strong colours. Must try this myself someday!
Wow, an admin note. I am sooooo impressed! You could have called it "Eat more chik'n" and sold it to chick-fil-a for an advertisement!!! Hahahhahahh (I crack myself up!) :-)
This is such an awesome shot. I actually had to take it to my PSP and flip it to see the reflection right. The blue is perfect, everything looks like a painting. I'm not positive a Cow fits the challenge but the shot overcomes it anyway. Fantastic job! DPz
Interesting. I think it's pretty cool that you took the photo of the reflection of the cow, rather than just taking a pic of the cow. The angle and framing/cropping are really good. Having some extra space in front of the cow really works. the colors are great. An interesting shot for sure. Technically well done. Good luck in the challenge.
I'm not too sure about this one. At first glance it looks like a totally out of focus cow. At second look it looks like a reflection in the water without the cow to make the reflection. And I'm sure it's somewhere in between these two. Which ever it is not appealling to me. Just looks too much out of focus, except for the grass. I'd have to give it a 3.
This is one of my favorites this week. I was wondering why the thumbnail image looked blurry, now I know. Very interesting image, I am assuming you rotated the original 180 degrees. I'm trying to find the start of the cows feet opposite the reflection, but I can't find them! Nice color in the water. Well done.
This may be the best of the best in this challenge. The reflection of the steer looks so surreal, it gives a feeling of other-worldliness. This is a photograph that I would be proud to hang in my house. Well done. (Sorry I could not offer any constructive critisism, there is nothing I would change).
Technically, cows are bred by men, but that's really pushing nit. Very interesting shot! I wouldn't have DQ'd it, but prolly a good thing to have the admin comment. 10 Swash
Like this shot a lot. Nice composition, love that you decided on the reflection instead of just taking a straight on shot of the beast. Has a very nice "painterly" feel to it. 9
I expect you're going to have a rough week. This species of animal would never have existed if mankind hadn't cultivated it. This is, however, a wonderful shot, and I for one, don't plan to mark you down on the technicality... Great shot!
