for I have found my sheep which was lost.”

Dear deviantart member
We have used your work for a feature at club, we hope you don’t mind, if you do we can remove your work from the feature
Feature November 2018Its been a very long time since we did a feature as of late, (coughcough)
Unfortunately, life gets a hold and I can only apologise about that
So, I thought let’s put some action into The club by doing a feature
So, behold below, great work from the community, check them out and help by leaving a fave at least
Thank you all Lisa :iconLSouthern:

Reminds me of the sheep at home (In Iceland)
They sometimes have horns and naturally only have a tail stub.
I love your photography, it inspires me to get better with mine

cricketumpire In reply to KorenMoonbear [2018-10-11 08:01:25 +0000 UTC]
I wonder if the more natural looking breeds with horns are hardier and can therefore thrive in colder climes like Iceland and the north of Scotland in our case
I'm flattered that you consider my photographs an inspiration but that is what dA is about I guess. I too find inspiration in other deviant's art and photography. It's frustrating, in one sense, to submit something one feels is good and almost immediately find a better example elsewhere. BUT that's the motivation to improve oneself Have a good week...

A lot of deviants have thought this was a goat. Despite having horns it's a breed of sheep in fact. However, you are so right about the expression - somewhere between boredom and disdain

I must admit to having forgotten the original request but it was a wonderful surprise to be reminded and to see the result of your skills. Without question the burning method suits it down to the ground (or the bottom!). You've caught the expression in the eye perfectly and the horns are brilliant.
I've faved it into my 'Inspirations' gallery with no hesitation

This one is definitely a horned sheep but a great subject for a portrait nevertheless

Miarath In reply to cricketumpire [2016-07-16 19:23:38 +0000 UTC]
It certainly is.
I just wasn't sure, cause there are some species of sheep that look almost like goats.

Thanks - it was difficult to fit into the 'rule of thirds' with all those curly horns but it worked I think

We herd sheep,
we drive cattle,
we lead people.
Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

this picture is very crisp,and a very interesting subject.

It falls into the category of 'old man' portrait in human terms in my mind - interesting but not cute. You obviously see it in a different light...
