Hi, Gerald - you're posting some really nice images!
Great subject and detail here.
My only suggestion would be to crop a little differently - I'd suggest moving the sheep to the left so it's not dead- center, and thereby also leaving some room for him to "look into."
Not centering is one of the first things I bet all of us  learn - me, for sure. Off-center adds some interest.
It also seems a bit tight at the top. a little more room might be nice. It's always tempting to crop tightly, but leaving more environment is often good.
Very cool image!

Hi Gerald.  Sandy offers a good tip.  I see you have limited posts (and limited commentary offered) so welcome to wildlife gallery.  Given this is a critique forum where greatest value comes from other photographers, I would ask that you notice in posting guidelines that a suggested number of comments to try for is at least five for each time you post.  That helps others and keeps the forum more active!  Also, it is VERY helpful for you to include shooting details of camera, lens and settings to better enable useful commentary by others.
