Ewe in late Fall habitat

Snow was already in the ground, but you could see some of the colors o the fall, as winter creeped in.

A nice pose and the broken (?) left horn adds interest to the image. The light snow cover helps to set the season. I would wish that the sheep had taken one more step forward to get its rump past the foreground tree.

Very nice. Obviously not Coral Gables. :D I think it's a toss-up between the coolish cast as presented (conveying cold weather) or warmer to bring out the fall colors. I set white point (at 240) on that little patch of snow at 8 o'clock from the goat's nose, and this is what I got. Either way, a little selective sharpening around the head and face helps, I think. Also added a slight vignette to gather the light around the ewe a little more. Nice shot, Fabs.

I do think the repost has a bit more impact. The broken horn is kind of cute.

Hey David, I really like what you did. I have a lot of work with the same ligt and this is a very nice alternative.

Muchas gracias :)

I like this Fabs. Love the setting of the enviroment with all the different colours, and like how he is aware of you. David has done a good job on warming this up. Still a great capture from you.

Like the pose, environment, and the seperation of the BG. Like the warmth of colors in David's repost as well.
