    Ha ha.. love it. If you could do something about the slightly distracting upper left background blue thing, it is super.

    The blue thing does not bother me a bit. Great image, excellent exposure. Bright white animals are FUN to shoot! (photograph)...

    Was there something specifically bothering you about the image?

    Excellent. No issue at all with the blue. But the scabies or whatever on the rightmost prey animal is distracting. This is a great shot.

    Cool shot Lava, is this part of some kids rodeo ? I suspect the blue things are denim pants

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    Pretty cool and fun shot. I would send it as a postcard or greeting card.
    I suggest a title " Say, who's the new Kid?" Or " Here's looking at you Kid".

    Excellent, Lava. Looks like they were set up and posing for you with big grins. . .

    Well done, would not change a thing.

    Re: Group Portrait

    Its great-it reminds me of how my cousins and I would pose for pictures as kids It even looks like the one on the far left was trying to "scoot" in to get in the shot right.

    Very nice. Makes me smile. Were they in motion? Some of their legs look as if they were in stride. If so, even more incredible from a composition standpoint.

    I concur with my colleagues that have stated "great shot"

    Was this a sheepdog event?

    Re: Group Portrait

    Thanks for all the comments. It surprises me a little. I wasn't sure sheep would generate interest. It was in fact a sheepherding event. I didn't manage to get a shot I liked with the dog(s) and the sheep, but I thought this captured the group behavior of the sheep on the move with the added bonus that they were looking my way. The blue in the back is from some spectators' blue jeans. I think the "scabies" is dirt/mud. (It had been raining.)

    Nice shot!
    What is funny is how something different distracts everyone. What distracts me are those annoying little ear tags.

    I love this shot! I saw it on the Facebook page and instantly made me smile.
    I happen to love the 'earings" by the way

    I swore I commented on this one.

    I looooove the middle one with his head stuck up. It's like "look at me!!! Take MYYYY picture!" Just love it!
