Photographer’s Note

just a fun shot here. no trip to New Zealand can finish without at least some shots of sheep (mostly just turning their back on you when you want to make a picture ;-)
This one was confused I guess....eating or moving away... i like the look / expression of the sheep here....for me this is what they are about :-)

Hi Arnoud,
Haha! He seemed to have liked becoming your model. Good use of DOF and contrast though from my screen, I think the face has been a little burnt or overexposed. But it's just me. Overall a nice photo!

TFS,

Great portrait. I like the added touch of your subject chewing on a toothpick. :) Lighting and DOF are most complimentary.

Good morning! At least something to increase my mood :)
Expression here really is SOMETHING.....specially the grass in its mouth...chewing in very "style way" :)
Fun creature (never liked sheeps, but yours is nice...) and well done shot

P.S. Holayeah this time i avoided confusion - in fact, i all time write "ship" instead "sheep" and everybody scoff at me....:(.....

Nice one. well framed.

Hi Arnoud,
Cool portrait with a straw in mouth. Yes, I have noted too that NZ sheep are not very cooperative with photgraphers. At least compared to Swiss ones with quite curious nature. Maybe it's because there's more people around.
Nice blurry background with some colourful flowers. Nose and ears partly overexposed.

This is cute.
Really a fun photo.
Great expression on the sheep's face.
If they have expressions of course.
Well done!
