 Was having all kinds of problems getting an evenly exposed shot due to the sun coming through the trees, so decided to roll with it and go for a high key effort.

Fairly heavy crop (about 1/4 of the full frame) with just a minor curves adjustment. Colorised using Hue/Saturation.

The title comes courtesy of aurora who commented at the time that it looked 'scary ... like a Voodoo Sheep'.

the picture makes the sheep look friendlier than it did in the flesh
actually looks cute and cuddly here

Cool shot! Great detail!! I'm not a fan of High Key, but this is done incredibly well, you may have "won me over". I'd have gone an 7 or maybe an 8 for this one.

This pic would look nice on an advertisment for oreos or something. Besides the fact that this is a pic of a farm animal I suppose, it doesn't really depict "country life."

Wow.

Spooky. Good detail.

What a poseur!

I'd've cropped it a bit tighter on the right, but this is great. He really stands out nice and sharp from the white background. Well done.

voodoo sheep is a good title. I thought that was a goat though, or am I wrong? Amd I thought goats were used for voodoo, not sheep. Well, it doesn't matter, the image is top of the line. Excellent job. 9

Kind of makes me laugh :)

I love this one. It could be used in advertisements. I love the white background and the cropping. A gem! I give it a 9. (I'd like to know how you managed to get that ackground by the way)

The lack of background has removed the "country" feel. Very interesting though.

This photo is well in focus. I like the lighting. Good job!

Why voodoo? Because of the hypnotic way it is looking I guess, yep looks kinda spooky. Very nice detailed image, the sepia toning works well, especially against the white background.
