 I did not take this at a good angle. And I was struggling with the crop. So I just went with trying to center the face. Mostly I was fascinated by all the curls - and that is what I wanted to highlight here.

When I was in high school...I got a perm just like this one! Everyone told me that I looked like Louis the XIVth! Your sheep is very charming with all of those curls! ;-)

I enjoyed this. In addition to the BW definition of curls of horns, the little long-nosed muzzle is soft and sweet.

Looks like it's time for a haircut! nice shot and love the textures. I might crop as tight as you can get to eliminate the space on the right.

I have no problem at all with the crop or the angle - it works for me just as is. And love those curls! B&W is really good at showing them off - definitely works well to highlight the shape and texture. Very nice shot.
