Those horns look like they can do real damage. Good capture. Did she run towards you after the shoot?

But I always want to trim their hair out of their eyes!

Forgot to say that this is a great picture!

I've never seen this breed. Very pretty. I love the bangs. Next time you see her, ask who her stylist is.

gigi said...

I would have loved to have been right there with you on this shoot. Awesome!

Janet said...

Someone needs to cut his bangs! Beautiful animal.

Janie said...

Her horns are shaped like a longhorn's, but not quite as long...
Great photo. I hope she was friendly.

What a beautiful lassie she is.

Suburban Girl said...

He looks intimidating. Nice shot.

When you "delete" the horns, and imagine a pale skin color, it has something of Mick Jagger's (Rolling Stones) in it:) Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Dianne said...

Stunning photo of the cow, love it's color lucky that she survive on the winter. You have a very close capture of the animal, i hope you don't go to close on her.

A beautiful photo. There are a lot of that breed here in Vermont and they don't go in for the winter. They look like gentle giants (but I don't know if they are gentle!).
