Or maybe it should be Melmerby Moor Mutton? Mmmmm :o)

Does England really need moor sheep? p.s., I think you did just fine with the light!

Wow! Fantastic almost classical style shot. That's a great lens!

wonderful light and the distance between sheep and background is amazing, almost 3 d!!

Great shot !

I think it's mutton dressed up as lamb actually. I love the light & what the result gave.

How did you get her to stay still while you arranged the flashes and reflectors? Well shot, amazingly different from the way Johnny does sheep DOF and composition wise.

Magical light. Moody atmosphere. Tops!

A wonderful one-sheep ladscape :) V

Wonderful portrait of this handsome sheep and I like the shallow DOF.

McGarva		19-May-2009 20:52
I thought it was Johhny Jag's gallery for one minute! Great DOF & clarity!

Its a perfect sunset here tonight, pity I can only glimpse a bit of it over the houses around me. Perfect shot.

Nicki Thurgar		19-May-2009 20:05
