I think you photographed a really nice scene, however there are a few nits worth mentioning. First, I think that the sky near the center of the frame is a bit bright. It approaches white, which does not fit very well with the mood of the rest of the scene and the warm light on the hills. Second, the colored patches on the sheep bother me a bit - I know you did not paint them, but maybe you can try to desaturate them? :) And final nit - it would be nice to see the frontmost sheep's head. At the moment, it's hidden behind a rock. I hope this does not sound overly negative - it's not meant in this way for sure. Just a few observations. :)

would like to see more information about the scene, and tech info.  I would like to see more brightness in the fore ground rocks and less in the sky, if possible.  The sheep with the blue markings I find a distraction, and suggest cloning it out.  Thanks for sharing.

I'm okay with the comp and even the colors on the sheep.  This is the way sheep farmers identify their flock.  It is part of the cultural significance of the image.  But I would like to know where it was taken. My guesses could include Iceland, mainland Scandanavia, Scottish Highlands, Pakistan, India, Nepal...

Nice photo of Castlerigg. It is normally a very difficult place to photograph due to the hoards of people that visit so you did well here.

Gary.

Thank you Mods for the EP. This image was waiting for almost 4 years on my iMac and never thought of sharing it as I found too many things wrong with it. Lesson learnt.
