The Shearing Competition

This image is from the Rotorua A&P show. The young shearers were being timed, judged and carefully watched to see how well they were managing in the competition.

My brother was a master shearer in his younger days. Great capture of the competition!

[Issi Bannerman]

Ah, love this action shot! The sheep looks resigned to its fate! ;-)

[Lou Ann]

I hope this contestant did well. That’s really quite a job.

[Karly]

Great shot - the sheep is looking right at you - wishing you would help:)

[carol white]

A super capture

[Kathie]

Quite an art. Love the POV

[Peter]

Great action shot Dianne no pressure then, like the way you have included the judge in the shot adding a little drama, must be intimidating for the young competitor:)

[Pat Knowles]

Loving the face of that sheep! Face says it all! Trousers nicely embellished with the Siver Fern logo! Fave! It's hard work sheering, I know my youngest used to sheer quite a bit when he first went to NZ, it made his wrist swell up!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Love it, great to watch these competitions. Not keen on working in the woolshed though, very hard work. I did it for years on the farm.

[Henri Russell]

Such a great shot. We stayed almost a week in Rotorua when we visited. We really loved it there.
