I love this photo with the moor sun? rising over the field of cattle. Nice foggy background adds drama, Like the dual color for contrast. I would not have cropped off the legs of the animals and the field looks a bit slanting downward right, might be my monitor. good luck in the contest.

Beautiful light on this misty pastoral scene. I like the sense of depth imparted by the trees that get grayer and grayer with distance. Excellent colors and fine composition.

Simply beautiful image, my friend. I love the sunrise and the fog giving way to a new morning. Beautiful colors and nice DOF.

A title is part of the composition of an image. It sets the stage for the viewers expectation.

In this case the viewer is expecting to see cows as the subject, as indicated in the title.

But the cows are very low in the scene as to be almost incidental to the image. They are neutral gray and hard to see.

The eyes travel first to the sun in the photo as it is the brightest and then to the trees as an area of high contrast and lastly to the cows.

The image might have a different initial effect if it were entitled something like, "sunrise over the pasture". The the subjects are the sun and pasture with the cows being a minor support to the image of a pasture.

I have been reminded of titles being important to set the stage for the viewer of what the scene is about.

With that being said, I do really like the color of the sky the pasture and the faded background trees.

Well done.

Cute color of sunrise. Gradient of the color, difference in sharpness of the elements and placement of them create a great composition. well done. In my eyes, cropping out the tree at the right side might make this composition perfect. By this the empty space between the sun, the sharp trees in the middle, and the tall blurry trees at the back becomes the centre around which the elements are built. Proportional. Just an opinion

Such a beauty here. I love the effect of the haze on the distant trees and the sky. Fascinating places you visit! Thank you for letting us get a peak of them.

Nice job on the sun. It's perfectly set in the overall image.

You also have created a very nice depth of field with the fading trees in the background.

Well done all around!

The Sun, as well as the Mist affect and the cows really make for a wonderful Artistic Photo. Love the overall brownish color as well as the simplicity, yet tells a complete story. Good luck in the contest. Royal
