Hej Hans,
Een uitstekende POV om deze bekende plek te laten zien. De koeien iets verderop zijn leuk, maar de koe links in de voorgrond staat daar heel mooi! Het lijkt ook alsof hij de wind in de haren heeft. Prachtig werk.
Groeten,
Lars

Hi, Hans!
Ha-ha, so funny one! This cow looks like she don't communicate with those cows or offended by them.
And also very nice castle on the background.
Well done!
Best regards
Peter

Et j'aime beaucoup cette interprètation très personnalisée.
Le cadrage est excellent.
Bien joué comme on dit chez nous.
Amicalement.

Very nice one, Hans - always good to see a refreshing perspective on one of these iconic overphotographed places, and your photo does just that, I don't recall ever seeing Mt St Michel with grazing cows in front :) Great framing to have the foreground cow peek into the photo like this, sharing our view towards the famous sight which almost takes second stage against this rural idyll in the foreground. Good shot.

Hallo mijn vriend,

Een prettig plaatje met de koeien in de wei, het zal de waarheid zijn dat de Mont-Saint-Michel vele malen zal gefotografeerd zijn, maar in de compositie met de dieren in de voorgrond misschien niet, dus een uniek stuk!

Vriendelijke groeten,
John

I really like this cow's eye view of the Mont St Michel. Its a bit over-exposed, but that doesn't detract too much from this original and amusing image.
Good work.

Dag Hans,

Very funny photo, looks like the MSM is lying on the backs of these cows in the distance, and the one in the foreground is waiting for its turn;))) Good idea of the composition!

Cheers

Hi Hans, a very nice and funny composition! :-) Looks as if "cows wit a view" are searched photo objects, I just posted another one ... TFS

Hello Hanssie,
Excellente composition!J'aime beaucoup la façon dont tu as cadré cette image,avec la tête de la vache au premier plan.Le mont Saint-Michel qui se découpe au loin donne de la profondeur à l'image.
Bravo,very well done!

Hi Hans,
this one is really too good! The point of view is very interesting with the cow very near you and looking in the same direction, i.e. toward the other cows and the Mont-St-Michel in a foggy background. Colors are very soft which works very good in this one. Very good idea.
Thanks a lot!

"Going Home" zou ook een goeie titel geweest zijn. Goed in elkaar gezet met alles op de juiste plek.
(Vraagje: Waarom heb je dat stuk draad niet weggekloond?)

Hee Hans, ja dit perspectief werkt echt LOL en door de DoF en de plaasting van Mont heb je echt iets toegevoegd aan de lange rij beelden van dit ikoon. Heerlijk.
Goed weekend,
Bert

Hi Hans,
A well composed shot, with the foreground framing well done with the cow looming. This is indeed a rather unique view of a much photographed site. There is good contrast here between the vibrancy of nature and the ancient ruins of the castle.

Bonjour mon bon ami Hans,
Excellente, cette photo, je reconnais bien ton style, mon ami Hans : savoir mêler l'humour, la nature et l'architecture avec talent. D'habitude, les vaches regardent passer les trains, ici, c'est la vache qui ouvre de grands yeux devant le Mont-Saint-Michel.
Excellent cadrage et lumières délicates.
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

The cow is carrying the "Mount" on its back !
Thgis is a very good situation for a very much photographied place and a good idea to have it in context.
Also a noice cow staring at the right place
Compliments

Hi Hans,
Well composed, or how to find a creative PoV to shoot an overphotographed subject, nice mooo-od and an angle that makes me feel like ... a cow ;-)
Have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

Hi Hans;
It is certainlly a diferent way of showing Le-Mont-Saint-Michel, and the POV of the caw is as any...Ja. Ja.... Now seriously it is a great shot with the close up of the herd and the back ground in a kind of mist. just great.
Regards
Alberto

Hello, Hans!
Very interesting idea and perfect execution! I like the cow looking at... another cow, or the castle in the background? - that's, why I like this composition and the title - we will never know that! Good job!
regards,
Greg

Hi Hans,
Great original and different shot of this famous French landmark.
PS During my visit in May I couldn't see many cows however I came across hundreds of sheeps.

Hi Hans,
The comical and almost irreverent element to this magical place is a great touch....you obviously have a great sense of irony and wit.

A great combination of nature, cows and the that quite famous sight - thanks for sharing.

hi hans
For sure an original setting to present the Mont St. Michel. Beatiful place - and now also open for these big ladies in the foreground fields. The inclusion of the foreground lady is very fun as she seems to be together with the photographer on this 'expedition'.

Hoi Hans
Zeer origineel qua POV and compo. Daar moet net je oog op vallen.Je zou ook kunnen denken aan: Lost in France.....die koeien en dat vlakke zijn wel eel Hollands. Zeer leuke foto.
groeten Albrecht
