| Lovely shot. Compositionally I probably agree that it should be cropped a bit from the bottom, but the sheep might not be so noticeably alone if you take away some of his space. |

Thanks for the comments - now that you mention it, I can see that the image would be better of I cropped some off the bottom.
I also think the quality of the image could be a lot better - my 5D was pretty new when I took this and I'm not convinced I had all of the settings right (I think something like 'Hightlight tone priority' was switched on). |

I usually treat the Rule of Thirds as a point of departure, but in this case, I think it applies. IMNSHO, the sheep and horizon should be higher or lower in the frame, again IMNSHO, probably lower although you might lose that nice line at the bottom. I think this would give you more of a feel of the lone sheep and isolation. That's my opinion, and it's worth exactly what you paid for it.
This shot has a nice zen feel to it. I like it a lot. |

| Feels very Yorkshire! I really admire the way you have distilled the elements of the photo down to the bare minimum, and yet still evoke a strong feeling of place. |
