Love sheep ,they are hardy animals capable of enduring through harsh climatic conditions roaming about in open fields ,on the side and top of hills ,in deep valleys, rockier terrain as well .I happened to pass by this field (not in the worst condition here at all...an almost perfect day in fact )one late August morning to find these sheep not grazing the tall grass but cuddled up in a bundle as to keep warm .Aren't they lovely ? Oh well who would not like the face of a sheep ...lol. A scene captured in the countryside in north central Sweden near the town of Vilhelmina right by the side of highway 45( was easy to spot ).I do not know if the owner lives in the cute red house at the back but i made sure to include it in the picture...
F/4,1/160 few adjustments (contrast , saturation and sharpening ), my usual outside frame.If you like sheep i have other photos of these cute animals that i will also put on the site in a near future ,watch out for them ,
Thanks in advance to everyone visiting and leaving a critique ,always appreciated,
Carol

Wonderful work.

Precious shot Carol, well composed with the house in the background.
I like your POV and the quality is superb.
Well done.

Superbe.
J'adore l'addition de la maison dans le haut.
Mais je trouve qu'il manque un peu d'espace en bas des moutons. Bof, qu'est-ce que j'en sais :-).
Bien vu
Pierre

Hi Carol, looks like these guy's are cold,huddled together like that,good POV, the inclusion of the red house adds a nice complimentary colour to the greens as well as a little impact.

A very cute bunch in their little 'huddle'. :) Very nice scenery as well. Good color! TFS

Hi Carol,
A fine composition with the sheeps. Nice sharp and the red house in the disctance creates a nice depth in this view. Well seen and presented, my compliments!

Bonjour Carol,
Décidément, ça sent le terroir ;o). C'est une scène particulièrement douillette, avec ces moutons qui se frottent les uns contre les autres comme seuls les moutons savent le faire (mais n'ont-ils donc JAMAIS trop chaud?).
Le thème de ta photo est classique, mais la composition ne l'est pas du tout: je trouve original et visuellement intéressant le fait que tu as mis les moutons tellement vers le bord inférieur de la photo, parce que cela met en valeur à un élément éloigné, à savoir la maison à l'arrière-plan. Bien que distante, cette maison ne semble pas étrangère à ces moutons. On aurait tendance à dire que c'est le fermier qui habite là. Bref, il y a une sorte de synergie enter les différents éléments de ta photo - et c'est cela qui la rend si charmante.
Voyant ce genre de scène, je me dis aussi que je devrais absolument partir un jour à la découverte de la Scandinavie. Avec un pseudo comme le mien, je n'y échapperai pas ;o).
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik

Bonjour Carol
C'est rare de voir un troupeau groupe comme ceux ci.
D'avoir capte les moutons est deja bien mais d'avoir aussi capte la petite maison rouge, c'est vraiment etre doue pour la photo. Tres belle composition et nettete.
Dot

HI Carol, If these sheep were cold in August, then they need some cashmere sweaters for the winter! :D

Great photo of nature. I like the sheep all huddled together in the tall grass. (There's always one in a group looking at the camera! Don't you just hate that LOL). The scene does look cozy with the sheep and the cute red house in the background.

As always Carol, your photos are so admired!

tfs, Lisa

TFS.

Hi Carol,
Wonderful capture of these huddling wollies. The little red house adds a lot to this lovely image. My border collie would have great fun keeping these guys in a tight pack.
Regards, Tom

Bonjour Carol,
Bucolique et charmante scène!
J'aime la composition mettant en valeur toute cette campagne paisible dont jouissent ces moutons!
La petite maison rouge offre une jolie touche de couleur contrastante et la verdure dans toutes ses variations a gardé des détails d'une grande acuité. Bravo! Annie

Hello Carol,
This is such a pleasant composition, the sheep in front as eye-catchers but next my eyes go to "den røda lilla stugan"..!
Sheep are believed to be silly animals and not among the brightest, I don't know but it is a fact they are able to survive rough conditions and predators in nature...
A successful composition indeed!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Bonjour Carol
La "petite maison dans la prairie" ajoute un zest de couleur à cette scène pastorale dont l'abondance du pâturage peut être comparée à la longueur de la laine des moutons!
Un attroupement bien sympathique sur le tapis doré qui se démarque par sa couleur de la verdure lointaine pour un tableau
très attrayant.
À la prochaine.
Robert
