Sarah Daley of Fairhaven, Vermont waits with her heifer for the portion of the dairy judging that she is entered in at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland, VT.

This photo is another overall favorite of mine from this story. The way that the light was shining on the girl was a strong factor but so to was her stance. The way she is holding the heifer while attentively watching the judging with her feet both pointed inward, perhaps indicating some nervousness while waiting, and the out of focus figure of a judge in the right foreground all make the photo work well.
