The Good Shepherd, a photo from Canterbury, South Island

Photographer's Note

We watched this doggie for more than an hour and the job he was doing for his ovwner was just incredibly admirable. He was able himself to chase and sort sheep into various group and he has alwas had a minute to relax just in front of our cameras. For me, this was one of the most decisive moment in New Zeland.

With kind regards,
viktor

Victor: this is a great composition. Wondering just a little about darkness and sharpness though. Your crop couldn't be better. regards, c

Yes, he seems very confident and says "I am the boss of this group"

Great photo. Original composition. You captured the feeling of total control by the dog.

Hi Viktor,

i love animals and your photo put a big smile on my face. I can explain why but i think because you get this photo the right way at the right moment.

Hello Viktor,
Great shot, the composition is very good and i like the nice soft colours.
However i think it lacks some more dof for better loking sheeps.
Regards,
Daniel

Excellent composition, Viktor.
The dog looks so proud of itself for having done such a good job.
And he is so confident that he can turn his back on the flock.
Very well captured and framed.

Hi viktor ,
Its a very good story telling shot. Nicely placed the dog and the goats at background give nice perspective and complete the story.
