 This picture goes with my submission in the Something New II challenge. This was the only black sheep in the pasture. He caught my eye and I knew he would have to be the subject of my picture. Very little adjustments to the original. Increased sharpness and contrast and reduced the brightness to try to eliminate the burnout in the white sheep.

NIce composition, I like the choice of portrait aspect ratio - with so much of the space filled with green to highlight the color differences in the sheep.

W/out the title I would not have noticed the black sheep, it's pretty subtle.

I'd like to see the image cropped a bit more at the top as I think the heavy trees detract from the subjects which hold pletny of interest on their own. You've definitely captured the right moment - just needs a little work.

Nice picture! in my opinion i think you should give more attention to the sheep (get closer) but it's nice even though!

nice image. I don't know if all the green/forest is needed here. Maybe try cropping out some of top.

I think I would have cropped it down to emphasize the subjects.
