Texas Rural Tour Image 9: How Now Brown Cow?

Posted by
Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 16 February 2009 in Animal & Insect.

This was going to be the last image in the series --until I went out driving this weekend. I felt at times that I had stumbled into the Texas Chainsaw Massacre part of rural Texas, and starting tomorrow I will share the weird.

Great series. Great shot. I like the color and clarity separating him from the rest. But with a look like that and what the future sounds like, I would rescue him and take him home.
Great shot.

@Barbara: My wife says she couldn't be a rancher because she'd treat all the animals as pets and never be able to eat any of them.

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany

This is some disillusioned cow! Don't mess with her.

Hi Twelvebit ! Wow ! A lovely portrait ! Excellent ! "La vache qu'elle est belle !" (in french when you say "la vache" i means : wow !). Bye ! : )

@Stéphane: Thank you for stopping by.

Shawna from Regina, Canada

I love images like this. I only hope I will be able to capture one one day.

@Shawna: There must be cows in Canada. I'm sure you will, if you haven't already.

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

A wonderful, fascinating, humorous, and all together splendid portrait. Very well seen and done. Everything works here. The fact of your subject being perfectly 'squared' to the camera. All the other cows being the same and different colors from the subject. The light. The depth-of-field. Zowwie!

@Stephen Phillips: Thanks very much. I almost didn't post this fearing it was too common, trite.

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

Really like the colour in this, looks like the angry uncle in the family. Another great example of an animal eye-balling you.

A challenge; or did you startle it? I half expect it to say something like... 'Do you mind, I'm trying to enjoy my cud in peace".

16 Feb 2009 11:39pm

@Daryl: Not startled. In fact, it came over to see me when I pulled the car up alongside the fence.

Love your title. I'd forgotten that old phrase. Love the capture. It posed for you.

This is fantastic composition of a beautiful animal that seems a little comical also.

Melissa W. from Warsaw, Indiana, United States

The lighting is amazing! Love the color, composition, and detail! Really great shot!

@Melissa W.: I almost didn't use this one thinking it might be too trite and it is the most commented on image I've ever posted.

@Amir: This has drawn more comments than any image I've ever posted here, and I almost didn't post it because I thought it might be trite.
