Shepherd and sheep Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo was taken on the way back to Manali from Spiti. It was about 8 hours drive. I encountered more sheep than people. Maybe it was the reason that the view was so spectacular.

Hi Emma!

I like your photo very much even though I think it needs a couple of improvements. First thing - your crop isn't perfect - there is a white line at the bottom and on the left side. Second - you could play a little bit with levels to get rid of the underexposure.

Personally, I think it would look much better framed and in sepia. I've posted my version to the workshop.

Anyway, great job and thanks for sharing :)
Best regards

Pawel

Hi Emma!
This is a very good image of a Gaddi shepherd on his up, I guess, if it is the month of June.
What sturdy and solitary lives these people live!
The landscape of Spiti, or wherever it is, is stark yet awe-inspiring.
I have done a workshop on your image for my own pleasure and does not under-rate the quality of your work. Apologies for the liberty taken.
Regards.
Ram

This is a good photo full of special atmosphere. Look at the sheep walking and the person behind them and the misty sky. I am trying to do a workshop, but sorry don't where to upload it to you.
