Hello,Mehmet!

Almost perfect photoof the shepard and his herd of sheeps. Well chosen diagonal composition, perfect lightning and shadow-light play. The silhouette of the shepard is also positioned in a dynamic pose, which adds to the overall feeling. Well done,maybe it would be even better in a panoramic format or frame.
Cheers, Borut

Hi,
A splendid picture indeed.
As Yeno, I believe that something like a 16:9 format would even aprove this pic.

Greetings,
Paul

I’ve never saw the frame filled so effectively! Amazing light helps to create a very strong mood. Impressive!

Very nice work. I love the catch of light on the dust and the contrasty dark image. I think the tilted horizon also improves adding a sense of drama to the scene. Again, very nice.

Hello Mehmet,
Bravo! Great capture with beatiful lighting in the scene. Try placing your main subject to the left more is all I could add to this image.
Well Done...

wonderful way to see with a rare beautiful light
a picture who told me an old shepperd story..

Hi Mehmet,

This image shows that photography is so much about the light. Here, you have a fabulous band of light diagonally across the frame and the foreground sheep picked out in outline, but darker to match the darker area top left. And I think your position of the shepherd I think is pretty much perfect - I wouldn't put it further to the left as this would make it too central and remove some of the dynamic power of the shot.
