Title:	What are you looking at?
Gear used:	E-1 + DZ 14-54/2.8-3.5 @ 54mm
Diaphragm:	f5.6
Shutter speed:	1/500
Film used:	Kodak sensor
Technical information:	Just resized from the camera, no other post processing
Subject information:	This was taken at a show of "shepherds ways of doing it" The sheep were quite friendly, but also rather stressed a bit. Combine this with lot's of people being curious and walking around and they start looking like this! I would have liked that the sheep in the background would have looked away, or just showed her buts, but there was just one chance to get the picture, and I don't like cropping nor photoshopping too much...

Great shot, and no need to crop tighter at all, imo. I like the way the sheep looks right into the camera with a menacing stare, and the brown head stands out really well against the white-ish bodies, if anything would be distracting, it would be the head of the other sheep in the background, but as that one is slightly out of focus, this is not the case. Great shot!

I like the composition of this shot. You have caught a moment of contact with one in the chaos & bustle of the many. The surrounding shapes all help to focus our attention on the central face. A good picture.

You really made contact with this one and the wool of the other sheep makes for a nice background.

I do like the way your eye is drawn to the sheep's face in the centre. It's quite a distinctive colour and shape. Love the textures of the wool, as well. Yes, the composition might've been improved if the sheep in the background had perhaps looked away, but as you said there's often only one chance to get the picture, so you did good. Plus, as Olaf said, that particular sheep is out of focus so it's not at all distracting.
