Beautiful shot! The colors are just right! Perhaps cropping a bit from the left and top to center things would make things more balanced....

Nice subject, nice background, altogether in nice colours. I wouldn't crop anything at all because it's nice and even a bit amusing to see this cow sunbathing on the street (I guess it is a street or something like it). If you cut the left away you can't tell the location anymore and the focus would be more on the cow which takes tension away from the picture. Plus the left brings out the sunshine that comes from the far left and eventually warms the cow's face, giving a nice shadow to the right. I think the composition is perfect.

Well see ! But like Dawson I think that a light cropping would be good for the subject. I post a WS.

Great subject, great pose, great light, great tones. I wouldn´t crop it. I like how its feces(?) on the street breaks the harmony... Great shot.

Very nice shot. excellet colors and dof. I would not crop at all. The larger backround helps the photo when you know where it was taken. The subject/object photographed does not always need to be centered.

Weird! The cow is the main subject, but... my eyes are most attracted by the colour & structure of the wall.
I agree with adding a bit more brightness, but not as much as Serge's WS. Maybe just enough to get the cow more "detached" from the wall.
The framing is good, I wouldn't crop either.
