This was taken on the back road to Maitland, NSW, the cattle were all having their daily meal. Lens aperture f/5.5, shutter speed 1/400sec, focal length 42mm, ISO 80, obviously taken around meal time.

Love your perspective on this one, Chris! Ha! Ha! The barn and silos in the background really make this a beautiful country shot! Excellent comp, clarity and framing! A perfect MT entry! :)

  They must have known a week of rain was on the way & they wanted dry food!! Thanks for the comments & it does look like a scrum when you think of it.

  A nice find and capture Chris, and an excellent theme image!
We were in Maitland yesterday, but it was too wet to take the camera out of the car!

  Thanks a lot for the comments on this one. Laura, I think I'll have to let the men explain a scrum to you!!! We are getting pretty soggy after 5 days non-stop rain.

  Laura ~ I'm not a man, ... but a "Scrum" is an abbreviated form of "scrummage" which is a modification of "scrimmage" which was derived from the word "skirmish"! It's a way of restarting a Rugby game after an accidental infringement or when the ball has gone out of play. (I googled it! Ha! Ha!) :)

  This made me chuckle, Chris! I'm used to big-eyed cow herd photos (have taken a few myself), and this pov is just such a wonderful opposite of that. Great composition, too, with the rest of a fine rural scene in the background.
