However I'm glad that the cow turned its back towards me and looked back at me - I think it makes the shot a lot more interesting since the cow becomes more of a subject rather than an object in an otherwise unremarkable landscape. > Dave > Thanks for the comments.

Definitely the first one (head down on paws). It's more "catlike" for some reason. Maybe I feel that way because it's the harder shot to get. I've got four cats, and I've been taking pictures of them for years. The "nap interrupted, head up and looking around" pose is just about the easiest to get with a cat, since they're always desperately afraid they'll miss something. Getting the "face on" shot with their head down is much harder unless you use a longer lens than 50mm. > http://vygotski.philosophy.adelaide.edu.au/~nicolev/photo/Gateway%202000%20Cow.JPG I'm not sure why, but I found this photo hilarious. I guess it's the "attitude" of the cow ... it looks like the cow is saying "why the heck are you taking pictures of by butt, you silly girl? and if you don't mind, stop it!" ... I don't know ... the whole structure of the cow's stance just seems funny for some reason. Probably just my weirdness. :-) TTYL, DougF - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
