| This remains one of my favorite animal photos on the site. Excellent clarity and composition. I love how you got the attention of all four - the expressions are pricelessly blank and focused. :) |

Wow, ya learn something new every day. That's such a coincidence!
On a similar note, I realised half way through voting that the number 4 is actually bad luck in China (hence why there is no Canon G4 camera) so I'm sorry if I accidently offended anyone, with it being in a Chinese-based challenge and all that.

your critique club moment
Hi Ben.
Very tempted to leave this blank, as there is almost definitely nothing I can constructively say about this shot. What would you have different, either in the image or the result? Only one thing that i thought immediately on seeing it, and still think on re-consideration of it, is that if one could move the second sheep from left forward a couple of paces, and to its right half a step, the balance of the composition would be improved - it almost goes without saying that this is a ridiculously small criticism (but this is the Critique Club)
Can I think of anything else to say ... ? Black and White works for this shot for a very specific reason: I can imagine it in colour - even quite liking it so (the green grass would presumably be a satisfying colour). Removing that element brings the emphasis to a different place - the graphic element provided by the line-up of the animals: and that is where the humour is, of course: the apparently 'posed' quality: 'OK now, everyone point your ears out'
Top work, mate.
Ed

Thanks everyone :D
It took me a long time to get my blue back but finally I did it! 95th time lucky! This and getting into the top fav photographers on the site were my 2 main aims, and I've completed them both now in the space of a few days, I'm so happy! What's next? Hmmm I'll have to think about that one.
Thanks for all the comments and votes. I thought I might get a ribbon when I saw my score was 7.5 throughout the week, but then on the last couple of days as it dropped and dropped, I felt sure I'd get 4th place or something annoying like that (sorry mood!).
Oh, another good thing about today is that I got my first picture published in a newspaper! I'm at school right now but when I get home I'll scan it in :)
Woohoo!

| I really like the composition, the choice of black and white, the clarity, the exposure...umm what else do I like...well, pretty much everything. My only nitpick would be that the image seems to be cropped a bit too tightly at the top (for my taste) but that's a minor nitpick. I'm really glad it meets the challenge because this is a great shot, keep up the great work. |
