The promised/threatened next photo in my 'sheep mini-series'.

Ha - what lovely eyes - great shot.

Nice sheep portrait.

Awwww he looks so inquisitive. (Probably a she?)
August 16th, 2014  
Awe such a cutie
August 16th, 2014  
Those eyes are super.
August 16th, 2014  
Their eyes look like they have been stapled into place. I'm thinking it looks a little too interested in you and hoped you moved on shortly.
August 16th, 2014  
Nice portrait.

totally gormless looking,

It should be fun being partners for two whole weeks Richard,, I will get back to you shortly
August 16th, 2014  
I love your sheep-shots, Richard. This one has a bit of the deer in the headlights look (:

Great detail. Fav

Stunning detail. Amazing processing. We have sheep everywhere now that the grass has recovered from daytime. I would love to be able to produce a picture like this. As they will be here until after Christmas I should have ample opportunity to practice!

Great capture and detail.

I love coming back to see this funny looking sheep so I'm gonna fav!

my push for you is a momento mori still life. have a google, try to get the 'golden age' look to the objects and lighting , for the second week if you would like an extension to the same challenge it would be to do a modern take... or I can come up with something completely different, let me know

great capture and the b&w removes the yellow of the eyes, making this work really well

@kali66 I'm glad you like my sheep and thanks for the Fav. Memento Mori? You would do this with consummate ease - for me it will be the hardest Get Pushed I will have attempted, it's so far removed from my usual style and habits... that means, I guess, that it's a great challenge. I think I will need the whole fortnight to do this justice!

Such a great "portrait"!
August 16th, 2014  
Lovely expression and texture on the face. Reminds me of an etching. Katharine
August 16th, 2014  
Nice shot. Beautiful clarity.
August 17th, 2014  
oh yes I had the spelling wrong!
I am glad to get you thinking :) there are so many different ways you could take it, ( there doesn't have to be a skull in it)
August 17th, 2014  
Love the range of tones, Richard.

This picture was brought up on my computer but before I could comment, I was called away. I've had to walk by a number of times, and each time the penetrating stare of this sheep has caught my eye. Mercy, that's a look this beast has! Great capture of a "happy" ewe.
