    Love the affection shown in this pairing Don, good exposure & lighting, small nit would be to wish for a slightly lower angle to have the line of heads not intersecting the rock BG.

    Don,

    Nice behaviour captured here, but I do find the colour of the sky a tad overpowering.

    I like the shooting angle, it gives the perception I assume most people see them at. Harsh light angle pretty well handled...Not sure if less contrast might help (That may make the sheep not stand out from the rock as much but might be worth a try) Lovely colors!

    Hi Don, like Dumay, I like the angle as it gives the subject presence, plus the interaction is cute.

    Regarding the image, as it's an RGB file it's difficult to tell, but my initial feeling is to certainly reduce both the red & magenta in various amounts in the main rocks and perhaps their coats as an adjustment layer, the sky is nice and at high altitude you will get that, enhanced also if a CP has been used too. I could well be wrong, but there also looks like a colour cast appearing in the front legs of boat animals, (blue/green?). The black looks clipped, so I might look at that Don and reduce the amount applied, again as an adjustment in the RAW or Hi Res Tiff Layer file, as this may also help in some of the more darker shadow areas. Do you have any with the interaction, but with the FG looking to camera?

    BTW was this with Sid G?
