Bonjour Renier,
Agréable scène rurale, bon choix avec ce noir et blanc... dommage pour le barbelé, mais ça tu n'y peux rien ;)

I love to eat the meat of sheep Renier. I learned to ate it when i worked in Saudi Arabia before for more than 6 years.

Lovely details and tones in this picture mate. You could please accommodate me someday when I go to your place :-)

My ability to give points will resume next month. I overused it last month. Thank you.

Have a good weekend mate.

Hello Ren,
I better finish my TL tatter before my guests arrive later. It's the 4th of July and I invited some friends for bbq, hope it doesn't rain and they don't cancel the fireworks. This is another good b&w. I like the contrasts of the background grasses where they appear to bend in one direction as well as the metallic roof. And of course, the sheeps beautifully adorn the frame. Best regards, Danilo

merhaba dear renier
excellent old hut and lovely sheeps.wonderful black white composition.well done.
best regards.

hi Renier

Such a pleasant view of the country farm and peaceful surrounding, very well shown in this B&W. The house looks deserted?

Hi Renier

A superb b&w image of the old shed & mulling sheep. Good tonal range & sharpness. Tfs!

Another which begged to be converted Renier. Very well composed, good tones and special detail when considering teh confusion in the grass.

Hi Renier,

i like the rural/countryside here setting very much. despite in B&W, everything here is almost well seen. a great capture indeed.

what is the ratio of sheep to man there, Pal?...:

Thanks for viewing my 4th of July

Hello Renier, Your black and white work is always stunning. This is to me one of your best effort. I like the detail, the saturation and the perspective of the shot. Light and shadow add contrast to the shot. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Renier,

You probably know by now that I just love colour. However a lot of your pictures are gorgious, or strong, or better shown in B&W.
However here I would love not only to see the wind you captured, but also the natural colour of the grasses and the shed, no doubt all in subdued and natural colourtints.
That does not mean that I don't love your composition - I am just wandering here....

Hi Renier
I love it! The movement of te hay windward is just beautiful and the bucolic scene could have come from even a hundred yrs ago. Great fame and contrasts
Best wishes

Excelente imagen, felicidades! Saludos desde Mexico. :)

Hello Renier,

A picturesque setting, that takes my mind years back in time!
Peaceful scene with the sheep enjoying the grass, by the way they look like they just had a haircut, hehehe...
B&W is a good medium here!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Beautiful photo painting.

Hi Reneir,
I love the B&W colors you use in your photos. The details here in the structure, grass and trees in the BG are excellent. I like the composition and the sheep in the photo.
Regards,
Kevin

Later :)
