Penny

Here's a shot of Penny the cow on an organic dairy farm in upstate New

York. The photo was one of a series taken on assignment by a

metropolitan daily to illustrate a feature on artisan dairies. Penny

seemed to want to make it big down in the city--the farmer had a

difficult time keeping the cow from "hogging" the scene, so to speak.

Cheers...Bill

Excellent shot... love that expression! Mike

 

Thanks for the kind remarks, Mike. Penny really was very sweet; I sent her a few 8x10s and some wallet-sized. I hear she's signed for a latte commercial for Starbucks. Best...Bill

I agree its beautiful, The colors pop and although the eyes are almost the same color as her fur, you can still pick them out easily. Wonderful perspective, thanks for sharing - Lex

A great shot,love it,and I must say a beautiful cow.Great angle you took this at.

Lex and Birte: Thanks so much for stopping by and for your very kind remarks. I really have Penny to thank for the success of this shot. She knew her best angle, and she was determined that I get it. With those "Twiggy" looks of hers, I think we'll see her doing covers in the future. All the best...Bill

Thanks for getting so close and personal... you even found out her name! Penny is a wonderful model! Congrats~ Iren

Thanks for stopping by again, Iren--always a pleasure to hear from you. As for the name thing: when the assignment comes from the paper that prides itself in publishing "All The News That's Fit To Print," you get the cow's name. :) Cheers...Bill
