Nice scene and view. In my opinion add more contrast and sharpness as well as cropp a little bit left side of photo, I mean these poles of this fence could help here. Well seen and composed photo. Regards, Michal.

Very nice photo and great light. I like how the fence divides up the photo. There's nothing in the photo which shouldn't be there. I'm guessing you were trying to put the sheep on a "rule of thirds" point - I would have gone just slightly higher up and marginally to the left. Other than that I can't see anything I'd change at all. Nice shot!

Thanks all of you, To be honest I composed without the Sheep. She wandered into the frame just before I took the shot! I was going to clone her out or move her away from the edge a bit, but ended up leaving as was captured...

Nice view to the scenery and good use of the fence to lead my view from the left to the right side of the photo Robert, I wish the sheep could move a little more forward so that it wouldn't be too close to the frame edge. I would also prefer a little higher contrast on the shot too.

Cheers......Edwin

A very beautiful shoot Robert. I like that you have in focus all the field. I like the warm colour of the sunlight. The sheep is a nice subject in your photo. (what are those colours on its wool??) This photo gives a great feeling of peace and tranquility. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Daniel =)

Hi Daniel, many thanks for taking the time to write. I think the colours on the wool is dye to help the farmer identify his/her flock.
