Photographer's Note

I was about to take an image showing the little river running though the valley, when this four cows (actually 6) arrived on a fine row. Please take a look at “river-bend” as well.

A little explanation of how this valley was made: For 10000 years ago during the last ice age was Denmark and most of northern Europe covered with a tick layer of ice (several 100 meters) – when the weather became warmer and the ice melted, the water paved its way under the ice and made this little “grand canyon”. The little river (called an “Å” in Danish) now all there’s reminds.

The best shot I ever saw !!! great crop. Great and smart cows...

MvS (4163) 2005-05-07 17:25

Hejsa,
Fin böj, men ko-bilden är ju helskön. Otroligt att du inte fått med en enda av alla de människor som styr upp att korna ska placeras ut just på detta symmetriska vis.

Hi Jeppe,
Very good info with this funny picture. I think the picture could be a great input for a H.C.A.-like fairy tale. I will try to find a good story line.

Hej Jeppe,
Fint billede: køerne i køen! ;-)
Det ser virkelig meget sjovt ud! Naturen ser også flot ud, især de gule blomster!
Udmærket gjort! :-D
Bedste hilsner,
Lars

What I can see is tha last milkproducing unit speeding a little and should have a fine. In my estimation built on the bending of the front right knee hes going in 5 Km/h instead of the stipulated 3.

The yeallow rapefield in the back gives a great framing to the shot.

Well done Jeppe

So very nice of you to have these lovely creatures so well behaved.
Very humorous composition. The first 2 cows almost seem identical except fot their ears.
Great colors too.

Intruder (3099) 2005-05-07 21:14

hello Jeppe! what a great shot, very clever and unique, well done

singuanti (15250) 2005-05-07 22:51

Hi Jeppe. What great timing you had to be there at this precise moment. I love the composition and the photo subject choices. The bright colors really contrast with each other. I'm surprised to see so few trees without leaves this time of year. At any rate a fine shot Jeppe!

Fixfocus (9385) 2005-05-08 3:28

Morning Jeppe!
Very well seen and captured!Excellent compo with the repitition of so many horizontal lines in it.A fine graphic effect.
Well done!

aloyho (6705) 2005-05-08 3:59

Hi Jeppe,
I see great arrangement and rhythm in this shot. The trees in the background, the canola, the cows and the foreground shrubs each beating its own rhythm and yet they harmonize to make an interesting visual musical composition. Very impressive! Congratulations. Regards.

davido (1982) 2005-05-08 4:06

Funny shot! It's like the distance you have to keep in the highway. These cows are really civical. :)
Regards, David

jhm (123140) 2005-05-08 8:19

Hi Jeppe,
I can see the four cows, but the three first are exact the same, almost cloned. But it rape seed with are yellow colour is fantastic.
Splendid picture Jeppe, very attractive for looking.

Hello Jeppe,
Are this military cows ? They are running with a perfect equal distance between them.
Very nice scenery in a great landscape. Very nice colors also. Well done !

It's really nice, what I see here and as often, one of "yours"...

RGatward (20050) 2005-05-08 13:36

You do get some funny catches Jeppe. Amazing the way their so evenly spaced. Great shot.

weswang (18223) 2005-05-08 13:37

Hi Jeppe, A great catch of the lining up cows. You have done a good job to have them listening to you and they acted very well.
In addition to the good gesture from the cow. The environment of this picture is beautiful as well. The colorful lines in this picture made this photo an eye-catching picture. Well done.

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-05-08 13:45

A great smile for this one, very creative and humoristic.
You even have had in this regular line a "not the same color" one.
I have taken mesurement and the spaces are perfect :))
TU very much for this one, a excellent relaxed sunday shot to see.

Fun photo, Jeppe. Well seen this procession of the cows in front of the bright field of colza. Lush saturated springtime colors, and nice framing with the vegetation in the foreground.

mitternacht (1839) 2005-05-08 16:00

Hi Jeppe,
Well seen and captured. It's sort of humorous to see them walk in such a procession. The cows are well framed by the rapeseed field and the green grass and the trees. The many horizontal lines and sections makes this an interesting composition.

maphoto (8082) 2005-05-08 22:32

Great one Jeppe, wonderful composition and colors, so many beautiful details, interesting to see how they are lined up. You had it all here, the landscape is just great, funny, well seen.

deud (1920) 2005-05-10 6:01

intresting shot. very synchrone!

hdl (6995) 2005-05-11 8:25

Hi Jeppe, very original and funny pose the bulls make for you: 4 in a row! Good colour lines in the picture too. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Jeppe,
Très comique de voir des vaches ou ces veaux en procession.
J'aurais préféré un cadrage un peu plus haut.
Belles couleurs , surtout le champs jaune derrière.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Mafo (1339) 2005-05-12 7:44

Je note une très bonne luminosité et une netteté parfaite.

A pretty fashion parade:))
Good evening Jeppe
I appreciate much this composition with theese pleasant colors. I note a very good luminosity and a perfect clearness.
Very well done.

premels (2400) 2005-05-15 8:23

Hi Jeppe, Judging by the picture of the river, one could have missed this row of cows. I'm happy you didn't. The composition reveals the funny behaviour of these cows. Nice catch.

dsidwell (9771) 2005-05-16 9:13

This is really classic, Jeppe. The cows are spaced perfectly. Humorous and very nice composition!

elihesamian (26127) 2005-05-20 7:35

joeydrops (2655) 2005-07-05 7:06

Another humorous shot Jeppe! It's interesting how they keep an equal distance between them. The colours are very nice, especially that vibrant yellow, and the composition is great -I like the centring of the two trees in the front.
The river-bend in your workshop is also nice. I like the tufts of grasses that surround it.
Well done!
Claudia
