Conceptual Skill
Interpret: What is the photographer’s intent?  Does it convey an idea or message? Is there a mood?

My intent was to satisfy the requirements of the assignment. The message is that cows are gross animals 99% of the time. They are also merciless and kill more people than sharks every year. 

Critique

Judge: evaluate the success of this piece.


I like this photo enough. I think it meets the requirements and I like the values shown. Unfortunately there are some intersections happening in this photo, but I tried my best.
