Now those are my type of shots
I like the last one the most though
There is little point in me stating I like it for this reason or that one - it's just the one that stands out to me - but I suppose you could have straightened up those rolling hills on the horizon

Great set! I especially like the first and the last... The first looks like something from the Midwich Cuckoos (bovine version), and the Donkey at the end has such a characterful face. Really good stuff. I like the mono treatments as well.

I really like the 4th one although I may have been tempted to straighten it in relation to the fence....?? The Donkey is excellent, amazing faces they have.

Your first image is by far a very good photo. You have captured a wonderful and humerous portrait.
Although, for the image to have much more impact, a simple square crop is needed. This focuses our interest much better on the animal's faces, right down to the last one - bottom left.
I also brightened the image a little, I hope you didn't mind.
Don't Say Cheese Then...!

The last one made me laugh, in a good way! Excellent. The first is fun too and improved with Paul's crop.
Best wishes, Kris.

The 4th one is great and the donkey is pretty cool too.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm glad they got a few smiles. Actually I said. Herd of cows? Of course we've heard of cows, they said.
Thanks for your version Pauly. It's definitely an improvement and good title!
I must admit I wasn't paying too much attention to my levels whlist lying around underneath various animals but I prefer to leave them wonky as I think it adds a bit of quirkiness.
