”Hold it mama, I get so thirsty from all this dry grass!”

------

When I arrived in the area the sheep were roaming all over the place, but they gathered quickly when I brought out the camera..! Not that I think they came to be photographed, but my presence had for sure an influence on their behaviour…

The fact that the lambs live in the mountains all summer and feed from what they find gives a special quality to the meat that cannot be obtained in sheep grazing on the farm all summer.

Lamb chops anyone..?

Hi Pablo,

Ps merci pour tes commentaires

Hi Pablo, A lovely bunch they are and very curious too, they never fail to come up to you and have a look. And are we in Norway? yes - I can spot the typical environmental friendly roofing (that is how they call it here in some new building projects).
Lamb chops - had a lot of fish - so maybe next time?

Multiple expressions are seen here which are reflecting a day to day life perspective e.g. motherly nature, childish instict and another thing..... father is calling the child "hey you are grown up, find your food away".

Beautifully composed from a lowered point of view. High contrast and deep hues are interesting. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Very picturesque and original, those sheep are incredibly nice, excellent capture ! I like their expressions and various postures and the picturesque farm-house from the BG, with moss on its roof...

Just gorgeous!

Hi Pablo!
One can get a bit more vegetarian when looking at these cute creatures in their mother and child bliss, cant he? (Not that it will be easy for me...) According to some theories, an animal looks sweet, it if it's eatable...

Obviously, as seen from their stare, you have the power of influencing any creature with your camera, hehe.
Greetings from hot Sofia!

I haven't seen this big sheeps, so wealthy. Lovely composed the whole sibling. Pose nicely to be photographed. Great detail image. I like the surounding.

Hi Pablo,

Very cute capture!! I like the greenay across and the composition. TFS.

Kiran.

I had some a couple of nights ago Pablo :). It is always interesting to see breeds of sheep which we don't have in Australia, that and the fact that most European sheep are left with tails intact. Excellent colour and detail and that ewe second in looks like she is laughing at you. I am interested to see the sod roof on the cabin too. TFS,
David

Yes please! I love lamb shops! :))

Great image! Very well captured, with great lighting. They are so cute!
Very sharp image!

Take care Yan :)

Sheep are always so inquisitive, but often frighten quickly..

Hi Pablo, As a Kiwi when i first came to Australia i caught some flak for NZers love of sheep. However i still like to see these fluffy white sheep. Can almost here the bleating noise i am sure you heard while taking focus! Good clarity and colours. Murray.

This one makes me laugh; it's almost as if you dropped animated characters from a movie into the bucolic setting. But it is a superb shot, wonderfully sharp with good contrast.
Love the sod roof in the background as well.

Hello Pablo - nice posing sheep. THey also talk with their ears. Good framing. Very well seen and done. TFS Thomas

Hi Pablo,
The front adult is simply curious, the middle one thinks your its "maaaa" and the back one finds that you're invading their territory...judging by their ears, of course!
Very nice colors, view and texture.
TFS this lovely family portrait.

Hi Pablo,
This photo reminds me of the day that I helped with clipping the sheep back in Scotland. The sound and the funny expressions these animals can have are good for a laugh. You captured some wonderful expressions and also a very cute moment.
The meat from the free roaming sheep does taste a lot better. We had it a few times this vacation.

Hi Pablo,
Fantastic capture with the lambs. The only thing I don't like is the background (too dark. That's why I made my version as a WS). Otherwise a fantastic image, congrats. Cheerz, László
