Woolly Jumper 1

[Lesley Jones]

Next door's sheep were going berserk in the field next to our garden yesterday morning. I grabbed a few shots before going to work. The title will become more apparent if I ever get the others processed. They chose deep shade with bright patches of sunlight from gaps in the trees, so a bit of a nightmare. I battled last night and gave up and tonight I just wanted it finished. We've just had our 21 year old cat PTS and I'm probably going to go to ground for a few days. Any comments welcome and I'll see if I can fix the problems here another time...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

What a beautiful jumper. No problems here, Lesley, it's perfect.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Beautiful, Lesley!

 

[Brian Moore]

Love that (slightly demented.) stare!

 

[Pete Askew]

Sorry to hear about the 21 year old. I can imagine that you are upset. My commiserations Lesley.

Love the shot though but I see what you mean about some of the highlights. Worth revisiting though as that expression is classic and I like the composition a lot. Are you sure they aren't the sheep equivalent of a New Romantic band - it has the look of an album cover!v

 

[Steve Boykin]

My condolences.

I really like this photo. To me it looks great and I like the way the composition works with the three of them receding. If you want to fly him over to Texas, he looks like he would fit right in with my group.

He looks like more of a Morrissey fan to me Pete.

Wonderful shot Lesley. So sorry to hear about your cat. It really is a difficult thing to deal with...so I understand about "going to ground".

That sheep has an almost human expression which makes the photograph really interesting and slightly unnerving at the same time.
