Dennis Gay 6/11/2012 4:04:58 AM

G'day LEE!

The first words which popped into my head when I frst saw this wonderful winter photograph were, "Hello girls!" 8-)

A remarkably good photograph, the quality of which lifts it head and shoulders above the usual "sheepy" fare.

Excellent snow exposure, incredibly crisp detail and three gorgeous models giving you their full attention hold the viewer's attention very well indeed.

My heartiest Aussiecon gratz for the most deserving EP & POTD awads.

Susan M. Smith 6/11/2012 4:54:37 AM

Hi Lee, you told me many years ago that things in 3's are magic and this image certainly furthers that theory! This is such a great capture of the perfect moment. Did you bribe these guys with treats or maKe funny faces at them? That's what I have to do to get the attention of my tragically indifferent four legged in-house models...lol. Whatever you did was certainly right on! Congratulations on your POTD :) #10175912

Thank You Very Very Very much everyone for your wonderfullfilling lovely comments.
My first POTD and you have me feeling like a Prince.I feel very honoured and I am very grateful to you all for taking the time to make this day (for the sheep and myself) very special.
I have not seen them since the winter,I could maybe pay them a visit now in the spring/summer and bring them the good news..perhaps Iīll catch them in their summer wear and sunglasses.

Thanks again to you all..those of you I know (it has been 2 or 3 years) and to those of you I donīt..or didnīt but do now and I am HAPPY for that.
My Best Wishes to everyone.. Leee and The 3 degrees #10176263

Description

These lovely three curiosly came to see a Goat eating my lunch from my hand along with getting a good scratch..they watched for a while and then came to join in while there was still something left for them..I think they were actually more wary of the goat than of me.

Thanks all for all your amazingness and wonderfullfilling comments.
