Welcome back Tuna, aven't seen you in awhile there. This is a cute little creature. You certainly got the thirds lined up with both of these critters. It seems like he's not sure if he likes you, deciding whether to be mean or be friendly.
The only thing I can think of is that I wish there was a little more area at the top of the photo, like sky. The black and white is a neat touch here, and the sharpness is pretty decent. The time of day you shot it makes the lighting seem surreal, somehow...
Tuna, I failed to comment on your more recent shots. While your previous sheep pictures held my interest I feel that this one is the best by a comfortable margin. The tonal range and the lighting are spot on. I really like how you composed this as well with the second sheep in the background puting emphasis on the depth. Contrarily to GB, I wouldn't say that the picture need sky. In fact, I get the impression that the sky would probably act as a distraction (but then, this is just my opinion).
Another excellent shot - I'm with Seb about the sky, it would just be a distraction.

Tuna, I can see your mark on this in it's very composition. I like just the amount of space you have at the top. The look on the sheep in the front is interesting as well as the one laying in the bg. My only nit with this is the bright areas on the white part of the sheep , but not a big issue at all.
Certainly not a typical barnyard image, thanks to your somewhat odd creative comp.
Good stuff
Best one out of the barnyard portraits by far. I think it's great. The attentive one and the one that doesn't care, the fence's angle, the grass, the lightning, the composition, all make their wonderful contributions to make this image. Nicely done.
