Nicely posed. Might be better as a landscape.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

I've cropped it as far as it will go. The image is grainy and visibly breaking up because it's a blow-up of less than half the negative area. That's because it was taken with an old film camera for which I have only a fixed FL "standard" lens. With a telephoto lens I could have zoomed in on the animals and got a technically better picture and potential prize winner.

OTOH if I'd been using a digital camera and having no film to finish off, I might not have been trying so hard to find something, anything, to take and might well have missed the shot completely.

A delightful picture, Howard. The monochrome enhances the bucolic nature of the photograph, giving it a timeless feel. Thanks for showing it.

That's perfect. I now feel that I'm looking right into the picture.

My only criticism would be that white blob in the top centre.

Howard Somerville replied to Isisbridge:

Worth buying that camera for, therefore, and humping it around. The picture, however, isn't specially popular on Flickr, not that that's any judge.

A further improvement might be removal of that white wisp of grass close to the udder.

Removed, and that's the last straw. Just anudder artefact.
