Not isolated to the Zermatt mountains I made new friends and contacts all across Switzerland. Near Gstaad I had a fun encounter with these inquisitive cows enjoying the autumn sun in their meadow. Smiling wasn’t an option. Perhaps I shouldn’t have asked them to say fromage.

nice to see the fisheye made it to switzerland and saw some action. 🙂
This is priceless. The fisheye perspective and close-up really works great, you can almost feel that tongue touching you 🙂
I’m curious to know how you took this pic! I like it.
Good luck cleaning the spit off your lens! This is priceless!
Glad you are home safe and sound – keep the images coming!
HIlarious!
I’ll always look at cows in a different way after this 😉
Amazing shot Jim, I like what the fisheye lens can do.
What a great sense of humor, great comedic shot
Haha I love it! Big tounge and cow nose in your face! Surprisingly sharp detail close up too, and nice color.
Thanks everyone for the great comments. Glad to see this struck a nerve. The cows I photographed on this trip had a lot of personality to them. Surprising a bovine could have personality.

@Lane Indeed I made good use of the fisheye lens 🙂

@Jan just wait for some of the others. This isn’t the only tongue photo

@Courtney as previously mentioned this was taken with a fisheye lens. Fisheye lenses have a very short minimum focal distance. The closer the lens to the subject the greater the distortion.

@Rebecca no spit, but it was close LOL

@Geir Cows can equal photographic comedy. Their big head can be comically captured so easily.

@Jollence same… I had a blast working with it. Thanks for the comment.

@mjspringett and @Chris Thanks 🙂
LOL…it’s been a long time since a photo has made me laugh. Thanks for that.
