Good composition with a nice land mood.
But the sky doesn't work as well...

Great shot. Reminds me of the movie "Babe" ;) Great DOF and nice pastel like background. I like it.

What a lovely country scene. I really like the soft colours and lighting. The background a little bit fog. Original it better than of WS. Excellent picture.

Very good nature scene. Fits well with the rule of 1/3rds. I find the sky fits in well with the pastel shades of green in the hills. Good capture with the horse's eyes closed. Very well composed.

Lovely photograph. The subject up front are so sharp and so cute. The DOF is also well exucuted. I like the "tinted" look that you have obtained here. Very nicely done.

Looks like an old oil painting... Ilove those sheep, and the horse so much! They have personality!

This is wonderful! It reminds me of a scene from the movie, "Babe": I almost expect to hear the animals talk.

I think its a fantastic photograph. Great composition and subjects.

Perhaps I'm goign out on a limb here, but does anybody else feel that fiddling with the colors and contrast in such a way is somehow "cheating". It definitely looks incredible, but is there any light condition that would cause a photograph to look like this naturally?

So for this reason I have a few reservations about this photo and others that have been adjusted in a similar way.

How did I miss this? Dreamy pastoral picture, like painting.

very nice photo

joli tableau champêtre, presque un caractère biblique. Les couleurs sont très pastel comme une peinture ; très légères et douces, avec un éclairage au dessus presque surnaturel. Ces tonalités sont bien captées. Le ciel et lointain bleutés sont très agréables, bon travail avec PS.
Bravo Stephen

This could very well be a painting of an old Dutch Master. In fact, it looks arranged and a bit to perfect.

But...

It's real! A very, very nice composition, the work that has been done in one of the WS gives a bit better color presentation. But still, the tree, horse and object in the foreground a so var well in balance, a pleasure to look at. Added to one of my favs!

Just discovered your galery.

Very nice framing and composition. Lovely scene.
The sky is OK. The panoram just below has a blue colorcast as if it was haze.
Not really disturbing. It's more like the difference between 99.9% and 100%
This picture shows clearly that you don't need to go to wonderlands (India in my case) to come up with wonderfull pictures

Realy impressive. How can you obtain such a quality in your photo. Awesome the details, the color and so on. You fix forever this moment with a master touch.

You're my idole Stephen !

It looks like a studio shot with a fake landscape in the background like a country sude soap opera setting. Very nice composition, very rustic and so "nature". I love the pale colors in the back, the strong horse "profile" and most of all the sheeps looking in direction of the camera (especially the one on the right hand side: very neat ;o)
Great work, TFS!
Cheers,
Pris.

Hi Shephen, Again this is a superb photo the Shire is a magnificent animal & i just love this shot with all the sheep thinking what on earth is this big lump doing eating all our feed, the whole photo pieces together so well, great depth also, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Stephen,

Lovely quiet scene. It could be a John Constable 's oil on canvas. Nice photograph.

Best regards

My teacher in the school said, that it is not good to paint half of the animal. This is true ,but in your picture it is not so disturbing thing, because there is so much other full animals.
