Sunset in the Yorkshire Dales, a photo from Cumbria, England

Photographer's Note

Anyone who has been to theYorkshire Dales will know that it is full of sheep. On the way back home I noticed a group on the brow of a hill and thought they would make a good silhouette.
I think the photo could of been improved if all the sheep were looking towards the camera.

Beautiful, Adam, the gradations of color in the sky are marvelous! And I think the sheep are very well-trained, the way they composed themselves so nicely. A great shot, all-around!

Beautiful sunset and silhouettes of the sheep. The moon is Great and I agree to your note : it would have been perfect with all the sheep looking to your cam. But animals are sometimes not very attentive of their environment, overall sheep!

This is an oustandingly brilliant shot... caught at just the right moment in every respect. What is it doing with only 4 points? Superb effort Adam!

In interesting silhouette you've caught here Adam. I think that if there is enough sharpness in the original that it would make an even better panaramic type of shot. Or even just some cropping to better observe the rule of thirds would do quite a bit to improve from a good shot to a great one.
