Fun shot Rita – very unusual to see them all lined up rather than scattered around the pasture. Perhaps these are trained mower replacement sheep.

The main thing I would do with this shot is crop it down considerably as the BG does not add a lot to the story. I would keep the 4X6 format and go from the lower right corner to where the left edge just cuts off the last post on the left BG fence. Any additional edits would be taste type things. One I would try would be an 85 warming filter at default.

Yup, I agree, a tighter crop would be good. Nice of them to line up for you, makes them easier to count! #10743478

ok here is the crop as is and one with some cloning done. #10743498

What a great find and capture, Rita. I would slightly darken the fence and the grass to make the sheep stand out a little more. I liked the trees, but I like your crop, too. Photographer's choice. Nice work. #10743601

I like it with less trees. Did you pay them to line up? If they would have done it for me they would have faced the other way!! #10744170

Rita -- this is a fun image. The tighter crop works well. What have you been up to lately ? #10744238

I like your edits, Rita. I bet all the Knitters of the world would just love this!

I hope you have a wonderful time at the cabin with all the kids.

thanks Susan,I like it better also. Jim and I usually take the 6 older ones by ourselves but this year Jim couldn't take off so I decided it would be fun with my daughters and all the kids. ( but the kids weren't happy they like no parents) This place sleeps 20 people its very cool. #10744526

Like the last one the best, Rita! It is unusual to see them all lined up like that. Are you sure they weren't posing for you? :-) #10744931
