____________________________

I couldn’t resist this one.
I saw these cows in the warm light you get just before sunset. I spent a while composing shots of them, trying to get some personality into the shots. With this one, I was happy with the compostion, but really wanted more light to be on her eye.
She stubbornly refused to lift her head even a tiny bit though, and kept her ear in the way, casting a shadow over the eye.
I wasn’t quite quick enough to catch the shot on the moments when she flicked her ears back to get rid of flies...it felt like a game we were playing - she flicks her ears, light falls on her eye, I click..but too slow...and all the time she just stood there staring at me :-)
