These two magnificent cows are perfect examples of Britain’s oldest, most distinctive, and best known breeds, with a long, thick, flowing coat of rich hair and majestic sweeping horns...Photographed in the highlands of Scotland....Please enjoy.

Well, this image made my inquisitive mind work hard.
Firstly I would like to make sure if this is a couple [meaning female and male] or two bulls as I see neither udders nor the other type of family jewels LOL !
Secondly, whatever they are, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Although the horns do look a bit terrifying ...

Wow...these two are something else!! Great capture and lovely deep color. We have a farm around here that raises these, but I've never seen them groomed this these two!!

They are impressive! They have such a rich colour and big horns. I love how their hair falling in their eyes give them a cute rakish look. Beautiful constrasts in this capture Mick. :)

Powerful beasts beautifully captured.
I visited a High Country Station here in NZ once and rode on one of these - of course I was much younger then but even then I was petrified.
The colour of them is beautiful - these one look quite interested in the photographer - fierce looking horns:)

Love their bangs. Pretty stylish pair I'd say. I think you captured them beautifully. Excellent post and colors. Clarity is great.

Hi Mick...

Wow...you talk about an eye catching image...this is it....firstly.. because of the enriching colors...colors with great depth...marvelous tones....the beauiful greens of the trees...the burnt orange of the animals..animals that sport such vigorous health ...as they are indeed perfect specimens...that bring life to natures best... and standing with pride against the beauty of God's nature....WOW.... Mick..pretty nice...

I must add... that the photographer had his part in all of this...as well....he added his skillful and magic touch... and it becomes a 'country' painting....;o)

Good job...my friend....

Marilyn

P.S. A little humor along the way...I do think the one gal/boy needs a hair cut....just teasing...;o)

Excellent picture. You've caught them wonderfully. It takes me back to being 10 again when I lived in Dunblane and cows like this were grazing only 15 minutes walk up the road. They used to terrify me! Though everybody said they were really gentle.
