Two lambs from the same ewe, one black, one white. Taken in Chatsworth Park, Peak District National Park, UK. Had to wait for ages to capture them in 'mirror' stance, then clapped my hands to get them both to look up together.

Lovely pastoral shot - I love that the size of the lambs is identical and that their positions are so charming. I think the contrast could be bumped every so slightly to highlight the black/white difference without losing the detail on the black one's face.
Lots of opposites, I don't think they needed to be pointed out in the title. Of course, I blew mine and didn't say that and people aren't seeing it. But this is not so subtle!
Good composition and expression of the challenge subject. Think this image could have tolerated more contrast to underline the opposites. But very nice image.
Quite clever! Did you have to bribe them to do that? LOL
I can't think of much to suggest; maybe adjust the contrast a tad to bring out more detail in little blackie's face? Maybe a tad more sharpness or focus? Good capture!
