 Out looking for a good image on Sunday.
Caught this sheep near the top of the hill just as it started to rain.
Sorry if it is a bit blurry.
Cropped, resized, adjusted contrast and brightness.
I left some of the grass in rather than cut the sheep off at the knees.

I was going to do something similar...
There seems to be a blueish tint to this photo, it may be my monitor. I may be a purist or just don't understand the challenge as you do but I would have cropped the sheep out, or just scared it away, it adds too much colour to this shot, for this challenge. But then again, it may only be our different POV about this challenge.

I'm seeing a lot of colour in this challenge. I would have liked to have seen zero colours except B&W. Maybe the next challenge could be a bit more specific about the use of colours.

Great subject but compisition is lacking... tree is jutting out of sheep. Sheep isn't quite sharp. Maybe a close up of the sheep?
