Highland sheep Photo

Photographer’s Note

While on a trip to scotland we stopped at a waterfall near an old whale catching station. The place was beautiful with lush green grass, spectacular cliffs and these cute sheep everywhere. This mother and lamb couple was grazing, right next to the trail we walked, without a worry in the world.

I will have to agree with gepall. This is a nice catch. Nice colours and god DOF. The sheep stand out very well. There's a bit noice in the water,but it's not disturbing since my eye tends to wander back to those beautiful animals.

A lovely clear shot. The colours are excellent. Well captured.

A very good illustrative capture of the Scottish highlands,good colours and clarity in the sheep.At first I thought they were on a cliff so I tried a workshop to accentuate that illusion.

A very catchy scenery, absolutely worth a shot Mattias! Well seen! I suspect that a more narrow DOF would increase the impact as well a crop off the top. Composition-wise it would look more appealing with just one diagonal line breaking the two subjects... But it could as well be just me. Ha en trevlig helg och bra jobbat! Hälsningar /Edwin

Very nice shot. Beautiful colors, greens sometimes pops out in overcast weather and gets whole new tones. Nice composition with the little sheep following the big one.

Very nice image but missing some more DOF.

I took a look at this "serie". Interesting place, as so often with the cliffs, the strong green and the nice scenery.
I liked this shot best with the fine composition of the sheeps over the river, eating on the little hillside.

jag håller också med gepallo. fina får med sina roliga horn. bra skärpa på bilden, lite tråkig bakgrund tycker jag men annars är det en väldigt fin harmonisk bild!
