Went for a walk this afternoon through some rather muddy fields only to be greeted by literally a solid wall of calves blocking my path.

They seemed very interested in my camera and at first did not want to budge out of my way and I was worried I could end up with a load of slime from their snouts all over my 50mm 1.4G which would have been pretty annoying!

They did eventually shift and allowed me to pass through, but they then proceeded to follow me to the other end of the field.

I did have another shot which seemed to isolate #200341 a bit better but it did not seem to show the fact it was part of a big herd to the same degree. I had not really considered the "distracting" element of having parts of other cows in the frame.

I much prefer that second shot - maybe a gnats more space on the right hand side would have been good but I'm being very picky now ;)

I like the DOF and you have focused well on the eyes (y)
