Thanks. Here is the shepherd (cropped from the same image).

Much better.
The original was buried in bland, now it is a great shot worthy of the
title, "favorite."

Horses for courses, but I liked the original better. This close-up is
a good photograph of someone else's artistic work. The original was a
Alan's artistic approach to this piece of work.

The Shoot-In isn't an exercise in documentary photography. There's a
place for that, but what we're doing here is demonstrating the
photographer's ability to see, frame, and process a subject. The
original was pure Alan Browne. His later commentary explained what he
was trying to do with shadow and color using that piece of art as a
starting-off point. This close-up is just a technically sound
replication of what someone else has created.

If the purpose of the close-up was to demonstrate Alan's ability to
take a photograph of an artwork for inclusion in a glossy brochure to
promote the artist, I'd look at it differently. That was not the
purpose for the original, although it could be a good cover shot for
an exhibit in general.

OK! I get it.

That's certainly true here in the Northern climates......If they didn't have
any clothes on, they wouldn't be visible at all..:^)
