...those eyes are creepy...and the cold color tone adds to the creepiness...
it's an OK picture i think, if you want to make it more interesting i guess focusing on just one of them,capturing the details might work, or capture them from a different angle and point of view, not just from a normal person eye level.
Take a picture of them eating from a low point of view for example...
well as you said,just play around them and take pictures from every angle possible

those eyes are freaky......it looks like your flash reflected in them......

i'm assuming that you wanted all of your bottle babies in the one shot.......and although i've never tried to pose cattle.....i'm fairly certain you just can't.........you got them all in one shot and that's what's important......

your camera was struggling a bit with what looks to be a fairly overcast early morning.....too dark to shoot without a flash or bumping your iso any further....your babies were too far away for your flash, so the scene remained underexposed.....all i can say is i hope this opportunity presents itself again in brighter circumstances.....

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions. Being new at all this just will learn as I go and this looks like an amazing site that I came across for all sorts of things to learn. Just wish I had more time sometimes as Im busy on our family farm operation but I try to get out and take few pics each day around here and there.

Ya, it was towards evening here when I took them and was a rainy day so it was overcast and gloomy as well. But I just wanted to try few different things out towards dark time and see what happens and maybe learn something.

Thanks for all the imput and appreciate it and look forward to more advice as I go along with putting pics on.

I was tryin to get them all into one shot rather than focus just on one for this pciture as not too often they are all eating at the same time so I just happened to catch them.
I should of tried my ISO on the next level think 800 want to say or 1600 so mite have to try one tonite around the same time and my yearlings for heck of it and see if there is a big differenece. Guess thats how we learn also.

You could just do some recovery in you favorite editing program.

Ex attached...painted the eyes using "multiply"...so the eyes are still there...just not so...."carnivorous"
Recovered the exposure a bit, then burned in the sky.
