Guest Guest Posted June 21, 2010 I am about a week late commenting on this,Excellent composition,the eye travels nicely from the sheep to the valley,the darker areas at the top help the viewer concentrate on the interesting parts of the image and stops the eye wondering into the corners,lighting and detail here is also very good,wonderfull image,i would't mind hanging that on my wall,regards,Harry Link to comment
alfbailey 3 Posted June 21, 2010 Many thanks for your visit, your comments are well considered and thought out as usual and I am really flattered by what must be the ultimate compliment (" I wouldn't mind hanging that on my wall") from a well respected fellow photographer.Sincere Thanks HarryRegardsAlf Link to comment
jorge_fernandez3 1 Posted June 23, 2010 This is an wonderful image, more so because of the sheep adding to the composition. We can enjoy the gorgeous valley and at tne same time be connected to a living creature!! A beautiful one. Warm regards. Link to comment
lizweisiger 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Alf, what a great image! I love the beauty of the landscape, but Sean makes a wonderful addition. Great story too. You owe that sheep a pint, my friend. Link to comment
alfbailey 3 Posted June 23, 2010 JORGEMany thanks for looking in and for your very kind comments. I think maybe Sean is just a natural! : - )RegardsAlfLIZYeah I think you are right I do owe him a pint, .....question is a pint of what? beer? sheepdip? water? .....well I'll let him choose : - )Sincere thanks for your kind comments and observations Liz.Warm RegardsAlf Link to comment
kathyb 51 Posted June 24, 2010 Pardon the pun but if the sheep didn't save the day, you could always "clone" the car out of the scene. LOL I don't numerically rate photos nor do I allow mine to be numerically rated soooooooo here's my feedback: I love the sheep. It gives the viewer a point of interest in the scene. Link to comment
alfbailey 3 Posted June 24, 2010 KATHYYour words are much appreciated, and particularly so as I do not seek ratings either (this image is critique only) as feedback is much more important to me. Lol Yeah indeed I would have had to "clone" the car out if Sean didn't show up when he did, alternatively I could have used my emergency blow up sheep! : - )Thanks for your visit KathyRegardsAlfSADEGHMany thanks for your visit and your encouragement, much appreciated!Kind RegardsAlf Link to comment
rascal64 9 Posted June 25, 2010 That is the greatest story. I am not sure what is better...your images or your accompanying stories. I have always defended sheep...contrary to popular belief, I always find them to be quite smart, charming and original. You just proved me right. Wonderful image...you are quite a team.

alfbailey 3 Posted June 25, 2010 Many thanks for your visit and thoughts, I share your views about sheep, they are far more intelligent than people give them credit for, and I shall know think of you in a new light "Tiffany Brook Defender of the sheep": - )Take care TiffanyRegardsAlf Link to comment
swede621 0 Posted July 19, 2010 The photo is excellent even without the background story. The colors and detail of this shot are excellent. It is the presence of "Sean" which makes it perfect.Very well done, Alf... Link to comment
alfbailey 3 Posted July 19, 2010 ELENAMany thanks for looking in, much appreciatedRegardsAlfJERRYSincere Thanks, I just got lucky with this one, Sean was a great capture, but your lioness image is ......well in a league of it's own. Cheers Jerry!RegardsAlf Link to comment
adan1 0 Posted July 29, 2010 Every sheep needs a shepherd and every student needs to learn from a master. You have become a shepherd for a lot of us. Thanks for sharing this charming story which serves to reiterate the sometimes unpredictible nature of photography and its rewards. Link to comment
alfbailey 3 Posted July 29, 2010 Many thanks for your visit and very generous words. But I feel I am far more often the student than I am the master. However I am in total agreement that nature and truth, can be far stranger than any fiction, and the best part of being a witness as well as a photographer is that you can capture the moment with your camera. Thanks again Adan, much appreciated!Kind RegardsAlf Link to comment
