 A700 and CZ 16-80 I saw this fellow up on a hill with this lonely winter tree and I couldn't resist.

The squareish composition makes it looks like a Hasselblad shot - but then it could be with that CZ  David

In Scottish: 'stirk' ('kye' for cow, 'kine' for cattle, 'nolt' for a calf). Purer or older Scottish is often related to German - we have 'stern in the lift' where English has 'stars in the sky'.

When I first saw this shot I thought, yep not a bad capture, crisp and dramatic, exposed for the sky (nicely done) and thus the hill tree and steer all starkly silhouetted against the sky, nice job........the next time I saw it, it was more thought provoking ( that steer is looking at something..but what? )..it actually looks like the classic bull up on the hill surveying his domain pose...and that in turn reminded me of the old bull with the young bull up on the hill joke, (In this case the young bull has already departed without listening).....but you all know that one, so I don't have to elaborate.  So your photo has hidden depth, you just have too look more than once to get the most out of it. Greg

I have this image hanging just outside the door to my MRI suite (I am an MRI tech) and I get so many great responses to this and it helps break the ice for many of the claustophobes I had been rotating some of my other images to this one spot until this one. Now I just leave it there because it makes my job just a little easier each day.
