Hi Jeroen
I love this one but can,t quite make my mind up on the cow
Maybe its a bit too big in the scene I don't know.
Nice pic anyway and brings back happy memories.
Cheers

The cow can stay for me Jeroen, the only distraction IMO is the bright gap in the trees. It's a good image and I like it as posted.

I agree with andy the distraction being the bright gap, nice shot though
Hi Jeroen,
Nice shot. I agree with Andy. The white is a little distracting.
Verder een gave plaat.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your replies so far..
I have a shot without the Cow and with the white "gap" cloned out but think it works better in the original.
See below..
Greetings,

I didn't mind the cow it was just the size

The second one is good but I liked the "udder" one before you "moo-ved" the cow.
Well done.
Geoff.

Jeroen I like the first,it shows where this bird likes to perch and watch/hunt from.The cow in the BG adds alot to the image,domestic live stock alongside the wild Kestral tells a story for me of todays countryside. Where the two co-exist closer than ever before in todays growing population and pressures.So for me the image works really well in this mannar

Both work well and the cow certainly adds interest to the image.

I definitely prefer it with the holstein in, it's a good enviromental shot.
