That the cow seems to have eye-contact is priceless. And the way she exposes the white in her eye - rare in an animal eye - gives it a completely unexpected human quality.
I didn't know this, Markus, about the white in animals' eye. That's interesting because I couldn't really explain what makes this "portrait" so different. Thx :-)
I see you do indeed have a soft spot for cows. ;) I love the soft contrasts...and that look. One of those moments when we're glad we brought the camera. I'm so glad you did. Lizzy :)
She's got her eye on you. It looks like she is scratching her neck on the nails.
ReplyDeleteI love the look on her face!
ReplyDeletePerfect marriage of words and image! I wonder what kind of scene she might have made?!
ReplyDeleteA bad case of itchy chin!
ReplyDeleteYour animnal photos are an inspiration ... I must try to get a little closer to them next time I'm in cattle country.
ReplyDeleteMoooooooo!!!! How did you get her to pay attention to you? Had you met before?

ReplyDeleteCiB - yes, that is exactly what she does :-)

Chicken, hm, I thought she was telling _me_ to not make a scene ... hm... .

Paula ... Muuuuuuuuh! (It is an Austrian cow, so she speaks German).
Paula W S, thx, :-)
