Whilst out for a lunchtime walk, when I passed the small pasture where these sheep were grazing, they all came up to the fence to greet me. Eventually they turned tail and moved off, and then this one stopped and turned back to look at me for several seconds before rejoining the others. I imagined what she might have been saying to me...
Couldn't have been better even if you had asked them to pose for you. love all their behinds and the light with the sun on their backs. Great tones in b&w.
Viewed on black, the glancing ewe's eyes are all the more distinct. They have such interesting eyes. I'm not sure quite how to describe them really. Excellent picture you snagged before they walked off.
So you understand the 'fenced-in' feel of fields all around you. It's always rather odd after harvest to be able to see beyond the edge of the yard again. Almost has a rather exposed feeling to it. I was standing in the corn field, looking up today, wondering if there was a shot in there somewhere. Not today there wasn't.
Haha, what a fun shot! This is what usually happens when Dad wants to take a picture of animals - they turn their back on him! Clearly the trick is to make it into a feature of the picture - Lucy
@lyndemc I've tried several times to take a shot from well into the field, but what looks to my eye like serried ranks of majestic maize plants, always comes out as a confused jumble of leaves ;-)
Interesting shot Richard - it makes me smile yet I the soft textures make it more than just a fun shot. (I wonder what you had in mind when you pressed the shutter button?)

Love it in b&w
