In this set, Christopher Rimmer's technical decisions probably include a low ISO, for shooting in the bright South African light, a closed down aperture, for a deep depth of field, and probably around 1/60th (or higher) shutter speed, to let in enough light, but still capture the motion of the cows.
His thematic intents are to capture the daily life of these cows and bulls. He portrays their pilgrimage, and the intent of their pilgrimage very well. You can tell that these beasts are enjoying the water, after spending the day in the hot sun
I respond very well to these intents too. I enjoy seeing documentation of nature, especially nature that I don't ever get to see. The European Aurochs are extinct, and the American Bison are endangered. Africa is one of the only places on the Earth that have free range cows like this, and I enjoy seeing them frolic in the ocean like this. He does a great job portraying their personalities.
