 Was looking for wildlife all weekend, and finally when I had lost all hope, the came out of the woods.

Left my ISO super high by accident which accounts for all the noise in the background. I was just too excited when I saw the sheep.

Adjusted brightness and contrast. Also sharpened the image a tad.

I like this, but its a little busy with the partial body forms of the other sheep.

Excellent photo. Ewe and lamb. The sex of the lamb cannot be determined at this point, but the ewe is definitely female. I didn't reduce the score because of the misidentification "brothers" in the title.

Interesting gaze from the lead. At first I thought there was motion blur in the background, but it appears that this is a big crop and I'm seeing the noise. Who cares. I love that look.
