What's that?, a photo from Malopolskie, Est

Photographer's Note

The main agricultural economic activity in the Tatra Mountains is sheep breeding. The sheeps captured on the photo were browsing the grass and were crowding to get the best bite :) The sheeps are bred in Tatra Mountains mainly for wool and milk. Sheep milk is used in Poland or Slovakia for the production of special smoked cheese, called “oscypek”. It is created mailny from sheep milk, although cows milk is sometimes added. It is especially part of cultural and culinary heritage of the Podhale region in the Tatra Mountains (around the town of Zakopane). The first mentions of Tatra mountains cheese processing date back to 15th century.

Tasting oscypek, and of course bringing it home to family and friends, is a must for anybody who goes on a trip to the Tatra mountains or just visits Zakopane.

This could be a pciture for a wool producer !

Being serious, I think it is a very original picture, very neat, with the little bonus of the herbs in the forground.

Well done,

Emmanuel

Hej,

Ladnie i ciekawie to wykadrowalas. Kolorystyka jest ciekawa i ladnie wysycona. Przyczepilbym sie jedynie do traw "wlazacych" w kadr z dolu - moznaby je w PS ostemplowac. Z odrobina cierpliwosci i wyczucia powinno to przyniesc niezly rezultat i uczynic zdjecie bardziej przejrzystym. Pozdrawiam!

Nice shot Marta, I like that we cannot see the sheeps heads (except one), just their wolly backs. The direct sunlight and shadows gives more depth the the image. Well framed, and good sharpness also, to avoid the shot being too "wooley" - excuse the pun ;-) !

What's that.. well you gave it away with that one fellow with his head up. I might have even been tempted to crop taht, but glad you didn't, because I think it kind of makes the shot.
