I had already commented but couldn't resist revisiting this wonderful image. Took the opportunity to add it to my favorites - hope you don't mind :)

I am surprised I had not commented on this already. I find this shot fascinatingly depressing if that makes any sense
Post actions
I think that I've officially 'seen it all' now. :-D

You know when I saw your name on the front page, I looked behind me certain that either Allen Funt or Rod Serling would be stading there. Good stuff. Congrats?
Post actions
Congrats on your assimilation! :P heehee.

Congrats on the ribbon, Don. I'm sorry I didn't get to viewing/voting so you got no contribution from me, but it is a darn fine image. I like the little stain on the wall behind the sheep - it looks like a shepherd.
Post actions
The more I look the more I see. The little hooded figure behind mum. The eye on the post looking back at me. Amazing.
Post actions
Don!

I love the folks who have come out of the woodwork to comment on this. Kinda like old home week at DPC! Congrats again.

I grew up with sheep pasture on 3 sides of our home - this brought back some great memories. Congratulations, Don!
Post actions
More than anything, I'm delighted that the post isn't 'properly' in focus.

Epatant. Que voilà bien une saugrenue distinction; J'en suis encore tout étourdit! Félicitations.

Congrats, Don! Just straight congrats, no sadness. I don't think your point all these years has been to disdain ribbons, but rather to hope (and help!) people recognize something other than the typical as ribbon-worthy. And you stayed true to your vision as you did it.

The post at the very edge of the frame and that gorgeous wall, Stunning. The mum, timeless and patient. She endures life's pain with calm acceptance.

Well done. The grit on the wall adds with the black and white to give something special.

Lovely black and white. Nice detail. The wooden post the right left may have been cropped out for less distraction, but it's not overpowering, so very well done.
