Unfortunately it's the best of this website series but there are lots of 
b&w pictures coming from my holydays up there.

Agree for the bottom crop, but I think cropping at the right only would 
decenter the combined cow/shadow element, that's why I cropped at both 
sides. I wanted to keep the 3:2 ratio, too.

And here's the cropped one:

Yes their stoic regard gives them something majestic. But THIS cow was very 
mean. She was walking toward me and tried to take me up with her horns a 
few secons after this shot. Fortunately I knew that a loud voice will 
impress her. But tourists are warned not to go to close to the cattle.

Thanks again
