Lamb--One Week Old
Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 12 March 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
I took this while he was peeking around the side of him mom. We have let him and the 2 sheep out into the larger pasture. He follows his mom everywhere, and is as frisky as lambs are reputed to be.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Your lens is so gentle; every photo is taken with a sense of caring and appreciation, qualities that shine through your images like this one.

@GJC: Thank you so very much for your kind words. If "caring and appreciation" show in my photos, I am more than happy. I take photos of what I love.

Wonderful shot - lots of wonderful detail and lighting. I showed my wife your lamb shot the other day and she loved it (and started asking me if we could get sheep!!).

Anita, such a beautiful shot. The detail you've captured, here, in his face and coat is terrific. Beautiful composition, as well.

@Ron: Thank you. I was lucky to get this shot. I was leaning around mom, who had just tried to eak my jacket cuff!
@Elisa: Looks like it!

HE is SO ADORABLE! Looks like he's playing peek-a-boo!

@Kerri: He was, actually, peeking around him mom. :-)

You have a gift for getting the focus on your animal portraits that beautifully highlight the texture of fir and blend facial features with the rest of the shot.

Beautiful composition. I especially love the little curls of his fur on his back. Very well done!
