I love this. It is a beautiful with great composition. Good work.
Notice how the sky is blow-out. This is because your camera light-metered for the green pastures, which are much darker than the sky. So the exposure was too much for the sky. Blue color and/or cloud details get lost.
One way to fool your camera's light meter, is to include more of the sky when first aiming your camera, then press your shutter release button HALF-WAY DOWN and HOLD IT there. Then go ahead and recompose you shot like you want it, then press the button the rest of the way.
The green pastures may come out too dark, but you can bring the light up in that area easily in Photoshop or GIMP. Underexposure can often be fixed, but overexposure is seldom fixable.
The best way to deal with this is to use a GRADUATED NEUTRAL DENSITY Lens Filter, which is clear on the bottom and filtered on top. Or use a regular NEUTRAL DENSITY filter, then lighten the pasture areas if needed. If you can only afford to buy one filter, buy a 0.6.
A Polarization filter will also work. The idea is to great great skies as well as the rest of the photo.

Yes, the trick I mentioned should work on all modern Digital point-and-shoot cameras (at least all the ones I have seen). Look in your manual about it, or just try it.
The trick is also use to lock in a focus you want. For example, let us say you have a big flower that you want in the center of the shot. It is in the foreground, but you want it to be blurry and the rest of the field behind it to be in focus.
Point your camera at the field in the background, without the big flower in the shot. Press your shutter release button HQLF-WAY-DOWN (the button for taking a picture). You have now locked in the long-distance focus. Then re-aim your camera to compose the shot with the big flower as the center of attention. Then press the button the rest of the way down. The big flower in the foreground will be out of focus, and everything in the background will be in focus.
This is probably more than what you would want to do, but you can buy a polarization filter of Neutral Density filter that either clips on your lens (that comes out when you turn it on) or ones that you hold in front of the lends with your free hand.

You're welcome.
You put it in "wild animals" instead of "domestic animals," that's why I asked.
