Lovely pastoral shot - I love that the size of the lambs is identical and that their positions are so charming. I think the contrast could be bumped every so slightly to highlight the black/white difference without losing the detail on the black one's face.

Lots of opposites, I don't think they needed to be pointed out in the title. Of course, I blew mine and didn't say that and people aren't seeing it. But this is not so subtle!

Good use of B&W, good composition and exposure.

Good composition and expression of the challenge subject. Think this image could have tolerated more contrast to underline the opposites. But very nice image.

I like the black and white sheep... it would have been nice since they are black and white to have the picture in color.

I like the b/w in this shot, and the grass makes a pleasing texture for a background. Nic shot!

Nicely captured opposites, a little adjustments of the levels to inprove the B&W range would have helped. 8

Good subject. A level adjustment could improve it.

Quite clever! Did you have to bribe them to do that? LOL

I can't think of much to suggest; maybe adjust the contrast a tad to bring out more detail in little blackie's face? Maybe a tad more sharpness or focus? Good capture!

Very cute subjects. I like this picture, but there's just not enough oomph - 7.

challange is well met... a taller crop with the sheep in the lower third might be better though

Terrific image. I wish there was more contrast though. It seems very gray for an image illustrating black and white.

this is a great photo, but the sheep are already black & white, so I personally would have left it in color. i would love to see te colored version. 8.
