Ya me parecia raro que hacia unos cuantos dias que no posteabas ninguna foto. Creo que esta buena la composicion y la situacion. Me gusta.

Hi Tali - Modern life arriving to the pampas! Nice diagonals on background (trail, posts). Great you caught the cow's legs in beautiful movement, without overlapping. And excellent depth. Regards. Daniel

Hello Tali!

Funny picture indeed. I guess that you could say «image of how animals, motorcycles and photographers can coexist...», since you seem to share the road as well.

I knew a bit about India sacred cows, but I guess we can say the same about Uruguay. You seem to be surrounded by great photo opportunity, wheter urban or countryside.

This one reminds me of your horses image, with beautiful colours and nice light. I’m sure you had a great weekend, walking around with your camera. Good shot!

Hi Tali,
A funny catch indeed and a decisive moment too.Your timing was perfect and so is the framing of this scene.
Greetings,
Hermann

Hi Tali,
Excellent timing and framing here. One would expect that cows were more afraid of such noisy beasts but no! Nice shadows giving some extra dimension here.

Hi Tali,

it could be a cow threat, specially if you run a motorcycle at great speed ;)
The cow is very funny and the face of the motorcyclist is very worried.

thanks for posting, Aleks

Hola Tali, me gusta esta foto, es divertida, esta muy bueno el contraste del fondo verde con la vaca y el camino. Veo que estas recorriendo el paisito, que suerte!

Haha, this is so common in Greece, too.
I like the mode you captured and the clear and sharp realisation.
The colours are really vivid, when I look to your photo it is like being nearly there.

Well done Tali
Saludos

Hi Tali, A good timing to capture the traffic congestion in the countryside. It looks that the cow has a higher priority in this traffic situation. A well seen and well captured fun picture.

Hola Tali,

Buen sentido de la oportunidad para tomar la foto!!

El movimiento del animal está muy bueno (y, no sé cómo explicarlo... la vaca parece mucho más "preocupada" que el motociclista), lo mismo que los colores y claridad de la imagen.

Un saludo cordial,
Carlos
