Photographer's Note
Thanks to all the TE members for the a lot visitors to my previous picture with the castle, later a third picture!
I found this picture today in my archive, I took this picture third week of September and very misty morning, along it Schipdonkkanaal in Maldegem my home town.
The cows life here very free along the dyke of this canal between the trees, during the summer weather and warm can the cows under the trees resting.
Again I chose for a excellent perspective through the tractor tracks together with the small way to left, these disappear together in the fog.
Curious looking the cows to the camera.
I hope that you can enjoy.
Have a nice weekend
John.
I used a monopod

Hello John,
une scène tout a fait cocasse avec cette vache qui semble surgir de nulle part.
et toujours ces arbres parfaitment alignés. Un paysage qui se perd lentement dans la brume.
Bien vu.
Amitié de Liège .

Very nice shot John. You've captured the mood here very well with the fog and the cow adds to the composition. The one thing that I was wondering is how it would look if you cropped the road on the far right to just outside the (left) of the second line of trees? Just a thought.

Hi John. Even with a monopod that's impressive steadiness at 1/4 second exposure. I like how the fog adds some mystery to your depth. That bovine looks a little lost! Good work John.

Hi John,
You indeed made very good use of the tractor tracks in the foreground grass, which breaks up the large space there nicely. The fog, the little road on the left, and the rather ghostly figures of the cows staring outward all give a surreal look to the scene, which resembles a painting. I particularly like the trees here. Very fine work, John.

Hello John, this picture reminds me of a shot that I tried recently. I tried to get some cows into my camera. First they run away. I guess they never saw a TE member with a camera ... It took me a lot of patience. They were looking form far away. To far to get a reasonabel picture. Finally they got confident and approached me and started to sniff and lick me. Hmmm, again I couldn't take a picture. Now they were to close. What you got here is quite right. They just look curious into your camera as I experienced it myself. The fog gives a good atmosphere.
Have a good weekend, Peter

It's not so obvious sight. The cow at the far side of the asphalt road, mist and what are those other wheel marking doing here? Someone tried to drive over the trees? :)

The fog creates always a fascinating effect in photograph and this is the case too. The inclusion of the cow is a fantastic plus since it adds life and dynamism to the composition.
Thanks for sharing.

Vey funny shot because for some reason the cow seems surprised to see you there. The composition is truely excellent. Despite the low light you got excellent colours in the grass, this together with the foggy atmophere makes this picture very unique.

Goeienavond, John. Ja, we zijn weer in november en deze foto herinnert eraan, zelfs als hij nuit september dateert. Mooi perspectief met de bomen die in de mist verdwijnen. De koe geeft de indruk voor de foto te poseren. Dank zij haar positie in het beeld creërt ze diepte en aan de andere kant komt ze goed uit op de grasvoorgrond.

This is a great shot John - it has an air of mystery about it, particularly the way the cows are staring straight at you. A very well managed shot. I like it!!

Bonjour John
Les Flandres en automne est la région idéale pour ce genre de composition.
La brume agrémente parfaitement cette composition en lui conférant une ambiance de calme et sérénité.

Hallo John,
Ik dacht heel even dat het een grote hond was ;-)
Vind je gekozen hoek met de weg en de bomenrij erg goed overkomen, een heel goede en vooral mooie sfeer gecreeerd...schitterend.
Prettig weekend, Henk

a scene completely surealist with this cow which seems to emerge from nowhere. and always these perfectly aligned trees. A landscape which is lost slowly in the fog.

Hallo John, een lange tijd ben ik niet meer op TE geweest door gebrek aan tijd, maar stilheeft u niet gezeten, deze laatste vind ik wel zeer aangenaam, november heeft ons nog weinig mist geven maar ik zie dat hij genomen is in september dan hebben wij inderdaad enkele mist morgens gehad, goed werk hier met de koe die toekijkt, kanalen en bossen blijken us grote troeven tezijn niettegenstaande uw kastelen ook topper zijn.

Bonsoir John,
C'est un shot difficile que celui-ci. C'est presque un N&B si tu enlèves le vert de l'herbe.
Heureusement qu'il y a cette vache pour animer le tableau.
C'est réussi mon Ami.
Excellente soirée

Hi John,
These cows looking between the fog they seem to wonder what is it making this human being?
I like this wet and disagreeable environment that gives the fog, which hides the beauty of the landscape and the geometry of the trees next to the highway, and steals his perspective from us.
The traces of the wheels in the grass add another very graphical element.
Good work, my friend.
Regards,
Josep

Mysterious, surreal, original, John! It's really nice to find the second cow!, esp. as I see that many others talk about "the" cow, as if there was only one here. Really nice shot, congratulations! Daniel

Good evening John,
A cow came accross the forest, and fromn within the fog, to see who was the guy with a strange aparatus in hand.
Posing like a model, and you very well placed her off-center image space, to show much of the surrounding grove.
Lovely shot,
