Thanks for all the comments!!

I agree with the ones who said it lacks detail and sharpness, and I could have cut a bit more of the grass, although I personally like the square format.

Last but not least, I would like to thank the sheep for standing so still! :)

Cool shot. I'd like to see some more sky though, but that's just my personal taste :)

looks familiar, can't remember why! Good shot and 'pose' - did you have to pay them much?

The more I look at this picture, the more I like it. You have managed to create a piece of art, in addition to meeting the challange. I would hang this one in my house - good job!

Interesting idea but You should have move the horizon line differet

Not wild about the square format for this. Rather see it trimmed on the sides and just a little off the top. Otherwise, the colors are great, and I like the sheep standing on the horizon line. Very fine.

imagine if you had about 7 or 8 of them all lined up on that rise? very cool concept! :) I would have cropped this a bit tighter to get a better view on the sheep.

Very surrealistic

Good job, i like the photo.

Now you're in Dutch. I couldn't find the word 'sheeps' in Websters dictionary.
The sheep almost look posed.

Simple and nice.

The compostion is good with all that grass at the bottom. It seems your sheep are not the main focal point though and that your focus is more on the grass in the foreground.

You can tell they're Dutch by the cute little wooden shoes.

nice image. nice how you caught them lined up like that.
suggestions.... : framing the shot to incorporate more grass or more sky... for a negative space effect would be very cool, and add to the drama of this shot. The horizon is almost at mid photo.. not quite, but almost. It might be nice to deliberatley emphasize one or the other.

I think a tighter crop would've made this a lot more interesting, though I kind of see what you were trying. Nice find, though.
04/23/2003 03:47:54 PM
Focus is sharp on the grass, soft on the sheep.
04/23/2003 01:35:34 PM
excellent shot... I think this composition is very strong and the exposure is perfect :) - setzler

Like the crop, they look like statues :)
04/23/2003 10:53:06 AM
I'd take them closer
04/23/2003 10:06:56 AM
good work
04/23/2003 07:58:12 AM
Nice composition the sheep seem to lack detail though
