Hi Victor,
I've never seen a cow look so gorgeous,that hair and those large horns are amazingly beautiful,love the dof,background and the mist and sky that makes it surreal and as if the light is building up from horn to horn and the cow might even vanish if you blink.Tremendous composition and amazing work.
