20100523 - Watcher

Had a wander up the hill to see my horsey friends from last night and get a shot of one of those sneak-sheep... Again, I was laid flat out - this time with a horse nuzzling my back, a horsey massage is very nice but it doesn't half test out the image stabiliser!

Very nice light Phil. Well done working with all the destractions
Jason Anderson24-May-2010 02:07
So what does a horse charge for that sort of thing?
Love the bright colors, nice job, light touch.
Sam Stevenson24-May-2010 00:50
By the way, excellent shot with the limited DOF you used.
Sam Stevenson24-May-2010 00:49
Those animals seem to find you fascinating, first the sheep, now the horse - good thing they're vegetarians!

I guess it is wondering why this human is lying flat on the ground and pointing a big black eye at him. Doesn't look too threatened though. Nice light and dof.

You are meeting it at its level. :) Fantastic. V

Absolutely beautiful, nostalgic, and lyrical. How wonderful it must be to be near these animals. V
Alina23-May-2010 23:11
Very nice shot :)v
laine23-May-2010 23:09
I think the sheep are laughing over the horsey nuzzle. :))
Neil Horner23-May-2010 22:16
Excellent , thought I was looking at JJ's gallery for a minute there...
Doug Cruden23-May-2010 22:00
You're lucky the hoss didn't bite you! Excellent pose here - it's kind of snooty in a lamb-like way :o) Excellently blurred background
Máire Uí Mhaicín23-May-2010 20:51
You found a rather intelligent looking sheep, not looking at all sheepishly at you. Love the blurred background: makes the sheep emerge more clearly to our view.

Babe! V

Brilliant, best sheep shot I've seen in a long time.

Lovely warm evening light on this teenager - they're not half getting big/
Guest 23-May-2010 20:22
