The valley is filled fith juicy green grass - the best a sheep can have. BUT these 2 ladies with their 4 lambs don't care. For them trekking up in the mountains in Jotunheimen is the thing. Forget the juicy grass and go for the good view and the clean air. That's the good life...

Second entry with these TrekSheeps.
In the lower back the green glacier water of lake Gjende - where you also may spot the motorboat bringing tourists in to the mountainworld of Jotunheimen.

Superb composition for this great landscape. Nice colors and contrats and superb DOF. Really like the behaviour of the sheeps that seem curious to see what you were doing...
Very nice shot !

Great composistion here, Jack. Interesting colouring and saturation on this shot. And the sheep almost look as though they're coming out of the picture!

HaHa yes that looks just like what they're doing, great compo.

very good composition indeed! the light is very well managed and the view is fascinating! thanks for sharing Jack!

A nice lighting, and a pleasant composition on this beautiful landscape. The sky is great

On ne se lasse pas d'admirer ces moutons en surplomb de cet impressionnante vallée.
La lumière est superbement captée. Félicitation.

bravo jack, this is an extraordinary shot! great colors, great master of the light, good compo with the four sheep and the water down below, great use of DOF! it all makes for a very nice shot! the sheep seem to come out of a halo of light, did you post process it or actual shot?

congrats!

Great shot, Jack - really good composition, lovely colour and light. A beautiful scene.

Very beautiful scene captured well in this compositino with the sheep on the left and he green waters far below on the right!

Excellent photo, a really nice composition and well shot

Une composition très réussie Jack, les moutons au premier plan semblent avoir eu un toilettage de premier ordre (belle couleur de la laine). En second plan, les masses rocheuses avec un lac vert émeraude.
Du talent dans cette composition Jack.
Bravo.
A very successful composition Jack, sheeps in the foreground seem to have had an excellent grooming (beautiful colour of the wool). In background, the rocky masses with an emerald green lake.
Of the talent in this composition Jack.
Bravo.

Hi Jack,

wonderful note. I enjoyed it very much.

Your photo is excellent composed with nice detail. Well done.

Wonderful composition, Jack! Great colours and the pattern of shades caused by the clouds adds a special note. Very well done!

I prefer this one that the "Hiking sheeps" posted soem time ago. The sheeps are making face and the landscape is larger.
Well done Jack.

Superb composition for this great mountain landscape, Jack, funny note too, interesting colouring and the small boat on the lake is a very nice detail. Well seen!

Another great photo of these sheep! Jack, this one is a masterpiece! The placement, the dinamic in their moving, their look towards you and the softness of the light and overal ambiance is stunning! There's a little overxposure in top right clouds but with some more work that can be avoided.

This photo is a pleasure to look at, it seems to be composed of several different pictures! Funny and beautiful, thanks for showing!

Fabulous scene, Jack. The landscape as such, with all the scenic value and colors contrast would already have been splendid, but to have the flock of sheep make this kind of appearance is just excellent. Your post-work effectively enhances the shadow and light setting, very impressive result.

Nice picture .. as if sheep like very isolated places like that .

Wonderful picture! The composition, colors, the subject and all that was mentioned above…
With your note I realized how funny this situation is (and you can put the category also as Humorous.). The best is the first sheep: you captured her in the middle of the movement and the look in her eyes is priceless – She knows where she’s going and leading the rest of the bunch.

This photo is phenomenal. The colors are so dramatic, beauty of the nature superb. Great capture! Regards, Djenno

Treksheeps, ha ha !
Roughness of the mountains against the softness of the sheep, full dark colours, which I like in this fantastic nature, nice shot, Jack !

Again a nice picture from your norvegian paradise, Jack! The framing of those sheep is great as the landscape behind. Well done!

I just love this shot Jack. That stunning landscape that you've captured so well with the clouds and shadows.... and then of course, the surprise of those sheep (almost looking human-like) just coming towards us. It's a great catch!

An excellent composition, Jack, with the interesting sheep in the foreground and the stunning landscape behind. I like how the mountain sweeps down to the water. Great colours. Very well seen and captured.

Good composition, good colors, nice angel. Some modifications made for post processing I think. Could you give more detail. Thanks for sharing. Alpay

Excellent compoced, great colour and contrast, great view, the small boat give great perspective.

They are so pretty! Maybe trying to escape the annual butchering?

Maybee the sheep like it, but for humans it seems somewhat rough country. The cloudy sky that casts a lot of shadow on the ground below gives an extra to the picture. The position of the sheep is very good so that the picture holds a lot of depth on the side and that way we can also see how deep the lake below is. Nice colours by the way. Thanks for sharing, good capture.

I love the comcept behinf this photo..you were very inspired. Great contrasts, great textures.
I only think that the ship is ruining it a little bit.
A great shot,
Bogdan.

Hi Jack. How are you going?
This is the first note I write since a long time out TE, and this is the perfect photo for coming back. Certainly one of the most beautyfull shots I´ve seen here, coming straight from a fairytail. Wonderfull colors, subjects are great, so as the atmosphere.
Nice to see your shots after so much time. Best regards to you.

What a great shot, Jack. Colors and depth are amaing, and the off-centered position of thr sheep is very very effective. Very very well done.

In a fine way composed and depth is amazing,what a superb place!...in far,a boat on the sea with its lines is a bonus in this shot.

The view of the mountain at the background, the shades of the clouds and the colors are just amazing.
Very well done!

Great DOF, the mountains look sharp, any post processing.
Nice composition. I can't recommend any improvement. possibly cropping the sky out to strengten the sheep.. but i like the sky, nice clouds..

nice.. are these the same hikers from the last one? i love the landscape here.. the green lake is too inviting

Very good photograph, technically sound and artistically impressive. The sheep seem clearly out of place, the clean white wool stands out reminding of a collage. They also look too clean and fragile for the rough landscape. Of course, I know that sheep actually like it in the mountains. :)

An fantastic shot ! The mix of colors is beautiful and the sheeps seem to be alive and comming out of the picture.

The composition is really well done. All the elements (sheeps, lake, mountains, etc) are well distributed.

The soft light emphasizes the soft wool of the sheep and the softens the distant hills, while the rough ground in front shows just how rugged this palce is. You caught a great moment and made a great composition.

The colors are fantastic, turquoise water color, the mountain is attractive, the details of the ground (first plan)... and the animals are superb! I congratulate you!

Meget flot billede Jack, specielt det grønne vand i baggrunden, som er helt vindstille. Jeg kan også godt lide skyerne, der kommer "susende" hen over himlen. Det kunne næsten ligne at de "støder" ind i fjeldene. Det ser rigtigt norsk ud, med fårene der græsser på de høje øde fjelde. Virkelig er billede med meget dybde i og flotte og naturlige farver. Er det en båd der kommer sejlene nede på vandet ?

Congratulation . Your photo is excellent composed with nice detail. Well done.

Very beautiful composition, all is good on the photograph, of the beautiful work .

This is a very nice image I missed while in India. I saw it first on your site.. It's simple, but very nice. my type of landscape..
I can almost smell the wool from those guys..

i have to admit this is one of the greatest pictures i have seen here, and one of my favorites. i love the contrast between the ship in the background. the white is just so noble,

i like the shape of the clouds in the back and the shadows they make in the mountains

is the water in the bottom a lake? ocean?..?

Beautiful scenery, perfect angle, great composition. I see that D70 is the favourite camera used on TrekEarth and the most beautiful images are created by it. But it would be nothing without such a talent you are.

hi Jack
nice composition. The background scenery is really well exposed and it's beautiful. I like how the shadows of the sheep dot the mountainside., and of course, the sheep are superbly captured. very nice photo!

Bonjour Jack.
cette photo est déjà plus que bien notée, mais il faut avouer qu'elle est superbe et digne d'être imprimée en carte postale.
le cadrage, la lumière, le point de vue... tout est parfait !
merci du partage

Unbelievable colours!

I know this has already has dozens of critiques, and is currently your top rated photo, Jack, but I like it so much that I felt I had to add my two points worth too. Brilliant composition and DOF,and lovely natural colours. Parts of the sky are a little blown out, but the perfect exposure of the sheep in the foreground compensates for that. Cheers . . . David

Hi Jack. Thanks for comments. Of course, good to see other norwegians here. We have a beautiful country to present with our photos. You have a lot of really great pictures, and I liked this one, which I can see a lot of other Trekkers did :) Really great light effects. Some of the clouds are slightly overexposed, but it doesnt matter really. Overall a great picture.

Hi Jack,
I know this is your number one rated shot but I have to mark it and not keep passing it. I don't like to do the number one as it looks like you have not looked at anyother of their work if you know what I mean. But this is simply charming. The sheep really add a lot to this splendid view. Whatever I say will already have been said. Fantastic.

Hi Jack,
I saw many from your photographs and I remained astonished for their clarity and immediacy.When I saw however the Treksheeps,I believed that they were genuinely and they looked at me and they approached me. In other words your photograph is exceptional.Danos ¶

Incredible sharpness, I can even see the speedboats wake that looks about a mile away. I can't see I'm a big fan of sheep, but I am of this photo!

Thank you for this impressive image, Jack. Reading the notes here and your reply is all very helpful to me, a true amateur!

Congratulations on this image, and best wishes!

Hello Jack,

What a pleasure it is to find your personal gallery. I can only join the chorus of admirers of this photo, and the many of the other 'works of art' that you've hung on the walls. The composition is first rate, the colors are spectacular, the perspective and light exquisite.

Hi Jack,

Reading through some of the many, many critiques this photo has attracted I really don't think I can add anything new to the observations. Needless to say, when I first joined TE, this was one of the photos that most inspired me to buy a digital SLR and try to improve my photography skills. I still think it's one of the best photos I've seen on here. Totally inspiring work, Jack - the colours and atmosphere are truly magical.

I have seen the sheeps in Norway and they are very photogenic indeed. Here the result is more than one is wishing for. Seems as if you hired the sheep to pose for you.

This has to be one the best photos on TE Jack. Composition is excellent. The color is also very good. The sheep, with their ear tags that perfectly match the color of the lake, just look great. Their differing expressions, with the one running towards you looking all pissed off and the one behind him (her) with the pink nose looking surprised or scared, really add a sense of "life" to the photo. I also like the spattered shadows of the clouds throughout the photo.

Great work.

Salut Jack.

J'adore!!!

Trés bonne composition avec les moutons au premier plan à gauche et le lac et la montagne en arriere plan.
Trés bonne exposition avec des détails dans le ciel sans boucher les ombres.
bravo à bientôt.

Hello Jack Wonderful view, colours and clarity.
Animals must like you. Sheep usually run away when they see me, not towards me like these. Perhaps they know how good they look with their ear tags matching the colour of the lake!
Beautiful.
Best wishes Maggie

great colours, light, shadows, composition, beautiful!

We both tried this common motive of Norwegian sheep, I like the colors and composition of yours, the clouds in the sky and the very Scandinavian landscape here.

Gorgeous shot!!!!
