Wonderful! Lovely light, colour, and character
I especially like the way 147 is straining to get into the shot in the first

My 5 year old tells me you can tell when they're "racing cows" cos they've got numbers... so obviously these are racing cows.

Really nice set of images Bindii, well done!

You have captured some wonderful images in this set. I love the first one, but how on earth did you get them to snuggle up for the picture?

I think that they found me as facinating as I found them, as they just kept on coming closer and closer...I ended up deciding it was probably wiser to take the rest of the photos from the other side of the fence.

"147, your meals are ready..."
I have a soft spot for cows as well, Bindii - but they can get a bit pushy sometimes and have no respect for expensive equipment! Your decision to give them a bit of space was proably a good one.
Terrific images and that low moody sky just adds to the atmosphere.
Good work!

Charolais Angels?
Bindi,
Great colour, delightfully sharp, and the first two are very nicely composed as well.

Ha, that is so cute. I love the different texture in fur on the top of their heads. Once again, good job with the photos, very sharp!
