Good Morning Two Ewe Photo

Photographer’s Note

These fine young ladies are residents of the Thompson-Neeley House Historic Site in Washington Crossing, PA. Washington Crossing Park is divided into two sections: the Lower Section, which is where the actual crossing of the Continental Army took place in December 1776 and the Upper Section, which is where the Thompson-Neeley House is located.

It has been rumored that Washington and his staff met at this house to plan the crossing of the Delaware River at this house. The resulting surprise attack on the Hessian troops stationed at Trenton, NJ was a key turning point in the war for America’s independence.

The house is open to the public for tours and the site is often the location of re-enactments and other events throughout the year. One such event is scheduled to take place in April and will include things such as sheep shearing, and demonstrations of spinning & weaving, colonial laundering, cheese making, and cooking.

I took several photos of the ladies that day and I wasn’t sure which one to post, so I am posting the second one in a workshop.

Hi Linda. Great title, and a beautiful shot of these two ewes. It's a great composition. I love the stone barn and the gate, and the interested look the sheep seem to have. Great note!

Nice composition showing just a part of the roof. I like the way the sheep are peeping out from behind the gate. Great detail on the wood. I think this is the better photo.

How cute is that, Linda? Wonderful how they are standing beside the fence door to greet you. Your whole composition captures an utterly charming rural setting, with the beautiful stone barn and the hay in front. The WS version is also nice, in that one they are looking like old-time british judges wearing those curly white wigs :-)) Well done.
Forgot to add one more thing: great title ...

Very nice one Linda. I like the composition with the wooden doors. The two lovely ladies are a plus in this photo. They add a funny feel and some life. I think that you should also have posted the workshop on its own. It's also a good photo with good a different kind of point of view. So a bid smiley for the two works.

I indefinitely like naturalness of this photo. In paints, in subjects. Even animals look as if were born on it a place and since then there:) the Excellent shot. Bravo!

Hi. Nice scenary. very well seen. The soft brown tones works very good, everything has almost the same colour, and it give's a magic "feeling" to this photo. The composition are good as well as the sharpness and two ladies make this one a little funny. Good job. Congratulations. :)
