Beautiful setting but those clouds look wicked bad. Are they enhanced to make them darker?

Those sheep are looking at you like: "You ate, what?" Probably a relative. Great scene and the link was very interesting. You do see and photograph some of the most beautiful countrysides. Very good Lyn.

True ... the light and shadows in this are a great attribute, but it's the multitude shades of green against that rather ominous low level grey cloud cover that knocks me for a loop. Makes for a very dramatic desktop. Well done Eve.

This is lovely, fantastic rich greens and beautifully composed. The sheep bottom right are a great touch, in just the right position. The sky's maybe just a tiny bit overblown for me but I like this image a lot. I just hope you didn't tell the sheep about the lunch you'd just eaten ;-)
