Awe, what a sweetheart she is. Lovely composition Heather,. Her pose and colour really make her stand out nicely against the background. The foreground grasses are perfect.

Thank you Debra. I love how she stood out here in her russet coat and made her presence known. These hardy cattle reside in the hills region and obviously take a keen interest in passersby, including people with cameras :)

Nice shot Heather. She sure look professional into giving a nice pose to the drivers that run by (specialy the photographer ones). The pale background makes the model realy outstanding and the few grasses in front just put the final touch to the picture. Very well done Heather.

Thank you Yves. I always slow down when I spot cattle who are one of my favorite subjects and she ambled right over to check me out. Mutual curiosity got me this shot and I love her freckled nose :)

Description
