Description Somthing a little different to what i usally shoot, but just as enjoyible. I was actually on my way down to the beach in my car and i spotted a field full of calfs and cows. It was an oppertunity and i snapped away but the thing ive noticed when photographing animals is the diversity of how they act, these three calfs just seemed to huddle together and slowly shuffle forward. although their not the most interesting animals they still make a bored photographer something to shoot

I'll apologise about the title, ive pretty much run out of ideas

Image: Taken and Processed RAW, developed in PS: vignetting and curves added

Location: a field, Nr. Coombe, Cornwall, UK

Camera Info: Nikon D70 | Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro | focal length 220mm | ISO200 | f/5.3 | 1/100 sec

Something that I would't normally give a fav to, but there is something about this shot - The way all three are grouped together and looking at the camera. If they could talk, they might be saying something like "What, you never saw a cow before?"

absolutely gorgeous shot- the time of day really makes this shot, besides the cows themselves and of course the expertise of the photographer

Very strange and funny scene. I agree to Andy's comment. Very cool that you noticed that.
Even the colors harmonise very well.

Lol, love the first comment; great capture. From their look, i'd say that you are a curious looking photographer. I just happened to show my parents (avid fans of Cornwall) your gallery and they were blown away, absolutely loved it!

Fantastic....looks like the local handbag brigade ready to pounce on any of the non conforming followers of cow fashion, if there is such a thing!?
great `real` feel image, captures the true rural side to the south west so well.
colours and moooood.......had to get that in before anyone else,hahaha
