from the critique club:
Here you managed to create a gem of an image. In looking over your port, I notice there is a lot of talent and that you have the ability to make good selections. This image, then is only a natural transition, a moving higher in the plane of improvement.
The composition here is simple but the subject steals the show. Of course, you took care to supply a soothing nondescript background whose only job is to showcase the dehydrated rose which has gone through a metamorphosis in its aging. It took a real eye to spot it, and you did.
You also exercised great flair in baptizing it with the name you did.
What more can I say, except that I am thrilled by stroke of genius and this is certainly one! I am feel honored to have had the opportunity to review this extra ordinary effort. Keep up the nice work and many more ribbons will await you. dan |

This is very good.
A good photo that meets the challenge very well, but twists it a little - most ppl would/did go for the human face.
Just the right amount of DOF (a bit deeper would be OK, but not needed).
Well deserved blue.
Congrats. |

Hi All,
Thank you very much for voting for my 'sheep'
I will have to admit to being quite lucky in finding this shot. I had spent a while wondering around trying to see 'faces' in various trees and bushes around my town but to no avail. In the end I got lucky closer to home (and closer to the ground!) with this macro. You may notice that it is far from the ideal photograph, hand-held at ISO 800 with a DOF that is just a little too shallow, I noticed this too during post-production but unfortunately the sun had melted away the 'fleece' by this time and I couldn't re-take!
The picture was taken in Canon RAW format and I adjusted the contrast and sharpness in PS. The image needed rotating by 30 degrees counter clockwise and I used a little dodge and burn to help accentuate the 'eye'
PS/ My wife says the only reason that I got the winning entry was because everyone else was busy spending time with their families at Christmas. (which probably has an element of truth!)
Wishing all DPCers a Happy New Year.
Chris

I think it looks more like a llama, myself! |

Wow. The similarities to a sheep's head are amazing!
The ears couner-balance the neck well.
It seems rather brown though, but I guess one can only do so much alter the way the shot is taken, huh? |

Nicely done but looks a little blurry. Perhaps a greater DOF might have helped. <6>
