Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

If you thought that the last two were tough...
I REALLY need your help in selecting the photograph to use for February!
But Nancy, "down ears" show a softness and submission that makes that photo say "love" for the month of love! Plus, I like its composition and think "closer to the subject" is better for this type of shot. (And I left a comment voting for #5, but don't see it here!)
Nancy, I, too, love #5! Sure, Sable is a guard dog but this shows that she also cares about her charges, more like a guardian angel than a Secret Service protector!!! I also like #7 because Dream is always, well, Dreamer!!
grrr, no no not 2 or 5. #3!!! By far! Why don't people see what I do? The lighting is gorgeous, Sable looks illuminated and set apart, almost ethereal, and then the softness an attention of Zaria in contrast. It's gorgeous!
I like the lighting on #2, and #5 is the one that made me say 'awwwwww...'
So I guess that #5 is probably a good one to go with, since everyone seems to really like it. It's the sentimental favorite.
But I would say that when taking into account lighting, composition, expression and story-telling, #6 is the all-around best.
The problem is that as you say, they may not be judging on what is the best photo per se. Sentiment may be the best way to go. I don't suppose you can submit two?
It is so hard as the pictures are all so good but I vote for #5, love that picture!
ReplyDelete#2 for me --- keep 'em coming, Nancy, this IS fun!

#2 or # 5.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures, Nancy. :-)
I say #5.
ReplyDelete#2 with #5 being a close second.......
ReplyDelete#5
ReplyDeleteOK ~ would you guys also include WHY you like the photo you pick?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised so many are choosing #5. I think I don't like it quite as much because Sable's ears are down...
5 or 2 for me this time - some sheep are just plain ol' scene stealers!

ReplyDelete#5- Just says love. Gives me warm fuzzies.

ReplyDeleteI like #5, it's sincere looking and very sweet. I also like the close up of them both together.
ReplyDelete#5!

Actually, I can use more than one photo per page! I may just do that with February...
