I Wanna Be Free

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the USA.

It is as if this young calf said to me: "Please, release me, because I wanna be free." Despite its pleading eyes, I was not entitled to remove both barbed wire and eartags.

Hope you'll like this image. Thanks in advance for your comment.

Beautiful shot, but very sad. It really has desperate eyes. I sympathize with this noble animal. Sorry, pal, I can't help you.

The calf has a pleading look Cornelius. Perhaps it was asking . "can you take off these earrings for me"? LOL! Nice shot.

Bij het zien van zo'n lief koppie sla ik mijn beleg vandaag over en pak de pindakaas. De foto verteld mij iets... al vind ik dit kalfje zielig is de foto eerlijk en goed. Kwaliteit is ook erg goed! Groet Michel

Ya know, this kind of crap really irritates me. As if one ear isn't enuff, the dumb farmer has to put the tags in both ears. Where is he? I have some tags for his ears...Good capture, however.

Oh, poor calf ... he has a sad look in his eyes. Wish I lived closer then I'd take him home with me. Wonderful capture, Cornelius ... I like how this one tells a story.

The ear tags look very fashionable,! LOL. From the way that critter is looking at you, I think you have made a new friend! Very nicely taken, Mr. C.

Cornelius, those are the gaudiest ear rings I've ever seen. While I refuse to use the infamous "C" word (rhymes with boot) in my comments, this shot's a beauty and is very boot with a "c". We raise lots of cattle around here but usually only use one ear tag. I guess is you were to jump the fence and bite off my of this guy's ears, they'd still know that he was "9554.6".

Excellent detail work on the face. He certainly seems to be saying, "Pleeeeeease, save me. I don't want to be a Big Mac."

Poor darling...a fair example of why I'm vegetarian. Despite the urge to free him, this shot had excellent detail enhanced by perfectly captured sunlight. :)

If that doesn't make me into a vegetarian, nothing will.
