    Default Big Horn Sheep in Velvia

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    Hi folks , another Big Horn female taken in Jasper NP.
    This time included the landscape and added a Velvia ? feeling to it , by knowing it is not everybody`s cup .
    Question would be , does this need a slight rotation , looking at the lake edge in the BG ?
    I have not much room , because this is FF.

    Canon EOS 1D MK IV
    Ef 70-200 IS L at 75 mm
    HH sitting in the grass

    F 5,6 (should have gone higher for more DOF) ; Iso 400 ; 1/1000 sec

    Processed in Photo Ninja and PS CC ; cloned out two grass stems in the FG.

    Comments are welcome, as always.

    Cheers Andreas

    Andreas, this looks like a painting, so beautiful and rich in colour! My cup it is, of course! Very velvety and rich in textures, no need of rotation in my opinion and I just love that little corner of blue sky!

    Hi Andreas - I like this too. The colors though vivid are realistic. I like the mountain scene. The placement of the sheep in the frame works great. The only thing I might have done was move a little to the left so that the sheep blocked the hut on the far bank. The rotation isn't a deal breaker for me and because this is full frame if you rotate it, you will lose the top of the mountains and the bit of blue on the left. Nice one!

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Thanks ladies, i am glad you like this one , me too, specially all the variation of colors.
    This shot was taken just 5 meters of the HWY that runs through Jasper NP, to the left is the HWY so i had to watch my framing, normally i would have used my wide angle , tried but had passing trucks in the frame as part of the BG .
    The "Hut" is , or better said are white rocks on the bank of the lake, but you are right Rachel i should have moved slightly to avoid this……….will try next time .

    Thanks again , Cheers Andreas

    Just considering the lake edge, I would say it does need some rotation to make it straight. But considering how that impacts the sky & mountains makes it a bit more complicated decision. Nice uplifted head on the bighorn and rich colors throughout.

    I like the layers of colour you captured here Andreas! Lovely rich tones (Velvia, yes ) and good depth overall. I too wish you could have avoided the little hut but it's not THAT noticeable at first glance.
    The pose complements the diagonal depth to the left well.
