HI Don,
Looks like you had a nice experience with these sheep. I like your general composition here, but feel the crop/framing is a little tight on the bottom (with the ewe's nose slightly cut off) and a there's a tad too much room on top. If this is full frame (not cropped) there's little you can do about this now. On my monitor the image looks on the dark side with the shadows lost to the blacks (especially noticeable on the shaded regions of the ram).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this shot!

Thanks, Brad...
I always regretted that cutoff at the bottom. Just missed the shot a little.
But, yes, it was a nice experience - except that I was shooting from the car and was blocking traffic. It was pretty dark as you can tell from the SS.
Appreciate the comments...!!

Nice posing here! I agree that some space on the bottom would make this better and it is too bad the third sheep edged into the right side of the frame.
