That was the first picture I was rating and now, when I finished is still my favorite choice. The DOF is infinitive. The colours are crisp and juicy. The ship close up is amazing. I love the perspective. Good luck - 10.
Lovely cute shot and good use of depth. exposure handled well. Pity about second sheep in shadow but not a big problem. Lovely setting and I could spread out a picnic blanket for sure. 7
The DOF is deep/complete. The glare of a flash is too evident. If you selected a small aperture for this shot (evident by the foreground and bg in focus, the shutter speed would be somewhat slow. Your results are good... because the flash forced the shutter speed up to 1/60s.... maybe 1/200s. It worked, but generally, a small aperture reduces shutter speed enough to create motion blur concerns in the animal. An interesting image to reveiw.
