You could also have lowered the angle just a bit since there was room above her head. Sometimes going too wide brings in too much distortion and this focal length appears about right. And I'd bump up the blacks a bit to increase the contrast, but, I do like the moment and how you've caught her in the middle of enjoying a nice treat. She looks like a great subject (speaking as one dog lover to another... )
Part of the problem is probably the large aperture. I have trouble seeing a point that is in focus. Otherwise, I like the atmosphere of the shot
Maybe crop most of the dark foreground out?
I guess this pic would have benefited from a grad ND filter. I don't own one myself, but just yesterday started looking into getting one, maybe.
I like your cow. The DOF is neat and the light is great too, plus she's pretty in that cow like fashion Looks like something to moo about! Well done. Barry

Beautiful bokeh. If you've posted this on Flickr, there are a couple bokeh groups that would love to have this added to their group.
