Sunrise, Sunset

Seems a bit weird because the horizon is not horizontal. A slight clockwise rotation might have helped.

A Man and his Sheep

Ha, the expression on the sheep's face is hilarious! I wish the composition were a bit different, with more sheep at the bottom and less fence at the top.

We're Having FIsh Tonight!

I'm so glad to see this winning, great shot!

I wanted to shoot a picture for an ad in Switzerland, also using a goldfish in such a classic goldfish bowl. When I went into a pet shop to get the fish, the people there were outraged and told me that keeping goldfish in a bowl had become illegal (in Switzerland). You need a big aquarium with proper aeration, etc. and you're not allowed to have a single fish, they need to have companions. I told the sales person the fish would just be in the bowl for a few minutes, but that just got her more upset. Well, maybe I'll have to do it in a different country because people just expect goldfish to be in a bowl like that, it's the image we all have of them. However, I would first like to try and find out if being in a bowl really is such a horrible experience for them...

Very nice shot. Would also have been a good candidate for the current sun challenge.
