Hello Peter,
Zdjecie przypomina mi kolorowe obrazki z Biblii. Piekny i banalnie prosty kadr a jak wiele ma w sobie to zdjecie. Well done+++

hello Peter,
this is a strong image. I like the contrast between the man's concentrated gaze and the almost relaxed expression of the sheep. Good vivid colours too.

Hi Peter,
Really an excellent shot!
The best you posted. I would have appreciated to have the image enlarged a little in order to get the right hand of the man.
However, really well shooted!

Prachtig beeld, Peter.
Beetje onwezenlijk. Er zit zoveel spiritualiteit in.
Bedankt

ce portrait est superbe, ou bien ces portraits?
on voit tout le poids que suporte cet homme vraissemblablement fatigué et la curiosité de la bête tout compte fait assez contente de sa position et qui sourirait presque pour la photo! (j'espère qu'elle est là pour aller agrandir un troupeau et non pas afin de passer sous peu à la casserole car dans ce cas son "sourire" est déplacé...)

Hallo Peter,
Opnieuw een zeet sterk portret. De man heeft een zeer sterke gezichtsexpressie, vastberaden, maar tevens het zware leven wat hij waarschijnlijk heeft markeert zijn gezicht. Dat het beest je ook zo recht aankijkt vind ik echt een sterk punt hier, maar de hele foto nog beter in presentatie en uitstraling.
Wat is dat blauw over de rug van het beest?
Groet, Henk

photo impressionnante. Dans ce visage transparait la douleur et la vie. Les couleurs sont étonnantes

Hello Peter,
Very amazing shot! The man seems not to like your lens though the sheep likes to be photographed. Do the people in Debark like to be photographed?
It seems to me you have a potential for reducing the radius of usm to smooth the wool. But I like this powerful image a lot.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Hello Peter
Such an intense expression on the face of both the man and the sheep. Well captured and well composed. TFS, Marlene
