Love this though I'm hard pressed to say why. I like the sepia and that you filled the frame.
 03/17/2009 05:45:06 PM
Great textures. Well done.
 03/17/2009 04:33:21 PM
This is such a different perspective to me. I really like it. I love the varied textures, and that the fur fills the entire image.

Þetta lítur út fyrir að vera íslenskt, Me er íslenskt kindahljóð en Bah er aftur á móti enskt!

This is cool, the sea of fuzz with the heads popping out creates a neat effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

My first favorite of this challenge! Great composition, toning and story.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great shot, love the way the wool from all the animals merges together
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Really cool photo - Almost looks painted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 09:37:51 PM
The one in the back almost looks like a skull
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:50:12 PM
This carries a pretty big emotional payload. And while it's not going to be to everyone's taste, I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 04:24:07 PM
Wool looks nice and long. Nice details on face.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 09:07:21 AM
Unique composition... the face seems to be poking out of an endless see of curly fluff. Like how the second face in the background mimics the guy in front.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:08:03 AM
Ah great
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 08:01:24 AM

Interesting use of sepia.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:44:30 PM
A very nice shot but it strikes me as too tonally flat. Needs higher range of blacks and whites.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 01:00:05 PM
Sepia tone really brings out the great detail
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 10:41:23 AM
Coming back to comment...

Not sure why, but this image, though quite beautiful, makes me sad! I'm worried that the number on his ear indicates he's headed for the butcher. 10

I find myself more interested in the black Ram(?) in front of these two because my eye keeps getting drawn there. Nice B&W conversion.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

 03/13/2009 05:26:33 PM
interesting subject- and the sepia adds to the sort of dark tone of the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the tones. I might've cropped out the guy in the background, but you just can't go wrong with sheep any way you do it. :~)
