Niska, village of sheep Photo

Photographer’s Note

The island of Cres is teh second largest of the Dalmatian islands and inhabited by not more that 4000 people.The northern part of the island af Cres is except for Beli almost inhabited.
Nature rules and in thick forests with oak and chesnutt trees dwell roe deer and wild boars. Above the trees fly the mighty griffon vultures of which there are 70 pairs breeding on the island.
Sheep you can see everywhere and at its best in the deserted little village like here in Niska.

You had difficult lighting but wisely exposed for the bright areas and still managed to bring out detail from the shadows. The broken walls lead the eye nicely through into the sunshine, and you were lucky to catch one of the wandering sheep!

Hello Gerrit,
Some nice tones and textures to be seen in this prettily lit composition. The sheep is a definite bonus and adds much to the mood.

Bonjour, cher ami Gerrit,
J'adore ce genre de composition. Nous entrons de plain-pied dans la vie des habitants. Il émane une sensation de bonheur simple qui devrait inspirer nombreux peintres.
La photo est d'une grande beauté.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Gerrit

Good shadow detail & texture, in the old stone walls, with the fg path & alley providing good lead in lines. The sheep animates the scene, & provides a good focal point. Tfs!
