Really nice detail on the moo and really excellent light!

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael.
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Hi Bessie, you are a very pretty lady. Excellent shot Betty. I think she is as curious about you as you are about her.

@Marion: She was watching me for a while before she went back to grazing! Thanks, Marion.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Get that number off of me, I'm not a number I'm a beautiful cow...Yes indeed, lovely photo Betty ;)

@Lorraine: I try to think of those numbers as "pierced earrrings". :-) Thank you, Lorraine.
@Helma: Thank you, Helma.
@Saeed: Thank you, Saeed.
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
If you ever get the chance to watch the movie King Corn, it is highly recommended! Cool shot Betty!

@Craig: Thanks, Craig. And I'll remember that about King Corn.
@MJ: It's a "Bilyk" heifer!
Cheryl from Texas, United States
she's a beauty! you must be in north NJ to be in the country setting?
6 Jun 2008 12:21pm
@Cheryl: Yes, north NJ - Warren County. We still have some cows around.
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Rather than calling this one 203 I would prefer the name Bossy. :-)
6 Jun 2008 12:22pm
@Earnest: She looks like a Bossy! :-)
Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
She's a cow alright ;) looks friendly I think.
6 Jun 2008 12:54pm
@Observing: She looked friendly enough... but there was a fence between us!
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
"Bossy" or "Bessie" - it matters not, but there's a pleading look in your eyes; does our 'earring' hurt you?
Great capture, Betty!

@Judy: Thanks, Judy!
mosleh from kurdestan_baneh, Iran

@bruno: Thank you, Bruno!
Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa
Gorgeous character shot of this impressive specimen Betty...She doesn't look too happy to be behind that fance! :)
6 Jun 2008 7:11pm
@Mandy Provan: No, she's happy behind that fence... the pasture is right along a main road! Thanks, Mandy!
@Alun Lambert: Thanks, Alun.
Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Even on the open nature, it's possible to be a prisoner. Poor cow, she seems to be so sad... may be she wants to escape with you.
6 Jun 2008 7:27pm
@Evelyne Dubos: I think she was wondering what the black box was! :-) She went right back to grazing after this shot!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
How depressing to be a cow with a number for a name - you should have a naming contest for her! Great shot - her eyes are very expressive.
6 Jun 2008 8:47pm
@Chris: She may have a name... I know these people, I can ask when I see them.
@Michael Rawluk: Yes, they do! :-)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
She's lovely. And her jewelry really compliments the overall look. Haha. Another good cow portrait Betty.
7 Jun 2008 1:48am
@Viewfinder: Yes, I believe the yellow really compliments the green background! :-) She certainly knows how to accessorize!
vu@granby - Gilles Martineau from Granby, Québec, Canada
Good shot of an Holstein cow!
