Sheep No Whippet by phil_howcroft

Sheep No Whippet

This is Ruby looking through the gate of a stile , into a field she cannot go into

I could not quite get the 's' of dogs into the frame, but 'sheep no dog' makes the shot look better !

The colour version of this shot was a bit distracting, with blown out bits from the sky contrasted against the greens of the field. This was shot under the shade of some trees so the light was really difficult. A monochrome version of the shot seems to work better

Shot with whippet and lead in one hand and camera in the other hand, crouched down so I was below Ruby, balancing on a tiny bit of wooden path above the ditch into the field. Who said photography was meant to be fun :)
I bet you looked awkward but funny !! mind you don't do your shoulder in like Judith!! Fab shot of your ruby & the sign is just right but I don't think dogs can read !

PS Phil - How much is your season ticket next year? I'm paying £299... £13 a game... Not bad even for Div 1 footie...

Oh! Poor Ruby...She'd just love to give those sheep a bit of exercise

Very nice black and white, Phil! Ruby can go places those sheep can't go though!

Ruby's pricked up ears and questing nose say it all . . , brilliant image Phil!

Poor Ruby - she's thinking those sheep are just looking for a playmate! Like the B&W and of course I recognise the stance! My big problem is zooming in and out...

Let me at 'em...They look like they could do with a bit of a runaround!
Great shot of this 'no go' area

Love the discriminatory nature of this image as seen from the point of view of Ruby, the discriminated against!

really like this Phil - almost a feeling of longing from Ruby here!
