Magnificent landscape Robert - so serene and so beautiful. The sheep in the front is a wonderful addition - somewhat funny, and completes the pastoral character of this photo.

Hi Robert, you captured a very, very beautiful tree here on the foreground. Nothing wrong with the background too, of course, but the main focus is on the tree. Composition is nice with the sheep in the foreground. Beautiful light as well.

I like your POV on this shot, the trees are nice and stark.
The sheep in the right hand corner adds interest while the patterns in the background created by the stone walls go to complete the image :)
About the wire fence - is that to fence off the reserve?

Hi Robert - a wonderful landscape, composed and presented in a way that looks reminiscent of a painting to me. The barren tree makes a good subject to fill the frame as it exudes a lot of character. The building in the back and particularly the sheep in front are charming details. Very nice.

A good subject here with that leafless tree as the focal point. The sheep an dthe house...a good inclusion. It breathes life into the picture.

Wonderful composition Robert, great close up on the trees to makes the foreground unattached to the background. I can easily switch to the background and see beautiful details, lines and curves, very pleasant, well done.
