I think this is just fantastic. The sheep looks so sharp I almost feel like I could reach out and pet it. I love the texture of the horns and the amber eye eye as well.

I love the pose, color and BG. A small nit, the grasses, especially the one right under his jaw catch my attention. Can they be cloned out?

They can but to me it takes away from the image because I was there and know he was eating so I left just a hint of food there. If you weren't there, perhaps it would be better without. The very next frame has his mouth taking a big bite of the grass.

Excellent! This would also make a good example of an image suited for a square format if you wanted to crop a little more of the left. I like it like this.

A fantastic shot. I love the position you caught here...leaning down and glancing back up. Well done.

Excellent, unusual pose. Love the upward look and superb detail in sweet light.

E.J., the wary look while grazing is great! And the warm light is a nice bonus too.
