If i was a sheep i think i'd live there. Great pic and high marks from me.

Hehe. :) I know what you mean. They did look like they thrived there. They were rather used to people these sheep. They came right up to me when I took my photos. That's how I got my close-up shot (rather badly named:) "Cheap Edit"

I like it.... it looks so peaceful... so clean.... that short cut grass... and even the sheeps have the perfect coat size, not overgrown.. neither too short - now I am geting into details LOL! ...but seriosly very nice pic. :-)

Thank you Katarina for the nice comment. :)

Lovely shot... its so green.. looks so peaceful...

very nice reminds me of a sight in England nicely done!!

quite a beautiful landscape in the scene, I like it

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.... I think this is the place He was thinking about. Great photo.

Excellent shot, Klas! I like this pastoral atmosphere in the picture. Well done!

That's a beautiful, beautiful shot! thank you for sharing! 10/10 and definately into favorites :)

Thank you so much guys for all the great comments. :)

I'm a little late to comment this new picture...
Really agree with Nicky about the "pastoral atmosphere". It's like a paradise!
Thanks to show us your beautiful country :-)

i think this a wonderful image very tranquil

no, not bad at all! absolutely beautiful! looks like it was a very nice day

Klas, this is wonderful - you shouldn't keep such beautiful photos from us!

What a nice spot, and a great shot..............John

Thank you, Pierre, Gaz, Meg, Teresa and John. :) Teresa, I never know when you guys will like one of my photos or not. I only upload stuff I like myself but most of the time they are pretty much ignored. I guess my taste is a bit odd. ^_^

heh looks like it coulda been in lord of the rings, but its a very nice, peaceful place.

Hehe. Thanks. :) Yea it's a very nice place.

A beautiful place and a great shot.

Wow this looks really great. I love the enviroment. And the water and animals there. Love the rolling green. Nice job. ..reminds me of my image: Speaking Words of Wisdom IV: Let it Be . Again Great image!

Thank you Rob and Sean. :) I see what you mean when you compare it to your image Sean. The creek meander in the same way. Your photo has very nice lighting BTW. It's hard to make it work so well with shots against the light (IMHO).

Marvelous nature image and photography.Nice,Klas.

A fantastic nature shot. Happy animals! Wish I were a sheep in those pastures right about now.

You are so lucky to live near such a beautiful place. What cute animals, too!

Quite beautiful and calming...it looks like Hobbiton!

Thanks Joost, June, up8850 and Caleb for the nice comments. :)

beautiful landscape, excellent nature shot, and tasty place to mow (for the sheep) !

Thanks for the kind words. :)

Breathtaking view. Great shot Klas. Ah well...I'll add another 10. :)

Thanks Neez. :)

Lol looks like a holiday camp for sheep! Great photo

^_^ Thanks. Yes, I bet they liked being there. They looked like they had a good time.

What a wonderful image. Very peaceful. Great depth!

Thanks. :)

This is absolutely excellent... a perfect place to spend a quiet afternoon, I'd say. ^_^

All the elements of this work toghether from a composition standpoint. The creek enters upper right and slowly meanders across to the lower left. It organizes the whole scene. The trees meander with it, repeating themselves nicely, back and forth. Finally, the shape of the valley also curves, both with the stream and as a shallow U across the frame. But without the sheep to occupy it (not too few, not too many!), the little valley might look too empty. Everything in its place!

I like this Klas. After reading your remarks, I've looked at it very closely. I think you're a little hard on yourself. Perhaps it's just a bit dark, but any more lighting would have increased glint on the water and foreground tree leaves. As mentioned about, the framing is beyond reproach. All in all, this is a gorgeous image, and there's no doubt it's a ten, at least in my book.

Wow!!! very artistic, i love it!!! 10 fav

Thanks guys, sorry for the late replies.

Klas, I’m glad you posted this one after all. It’s a real beauty. It reminds me a lot of the streams I played in as a kid, we made pretend boats made from twigs and leaves and sailed them downstream. The viewpoint you chose is just perfect. If the photo were brighter I expect the grass would have shown more yellow and wouldn’t look so lush. You have just enough sheep here to look interesting, more would have made it to busy. All in all it’s a job well done.

Wow sweet!! what a spectacular place and fantastci capture i think there isn't any part of this image that doesn't work.

Thank you Robert and bgeek. :) I appreciate the input. I think I was lucky in many respect when I took this one, considering how the sheep spread themselves in the valley for one.

The thing I liked the least myself with it and the reason I doubted about uploading it was that the texture on some of the sheep's backs were burnt out in the highlights and I usually find that disturbing. In other words I definitely agree that the image should not have been brighter. It may seem a bit dark I guess, since the shadows on the left are quite deep because of my choice of exposure.

Beautiful , simply beautiful.

Thanks! :)

I love this picture, thanks.

oh my god!!!!! oh my my!!!!!!!!!!

earth is a beautifull place. i hate my self living in a city :(

takes 10!!! 11 if it could! for both, subject and picture overall

Thank you gills and Stelios. :) I'm glad you liked it. I live in the city too but it's not far from this place.

Hi Klas
today I was looking at your gallery again and found this image which I didn't remember seeing before.
Don't understand how I could possibly miss it.
Its a lovely landscape...allmost to lovely.
It gives me a feeling watching a landscape of the teletubbies.( children TV )
The greens in this image give me a spring feeling.
personaly I prefer less perfect landscapes...but now and then I can live with such pretty clean environement.

Thanks for the great comment. :) I know what you mean. ^_^

I love it-

you can really tell it was taken near sweden - great pic

Hm... Yes, really near. In fact in Sweden. ^_^ Thanks for taking the time to comment! :)

very pleasing to the eye

Thanks! :)

What a great shot! A beautiful sunny day.... makes me feel warm just looking at it.

And someone mentioned LOTR... it does look like a hobbit or two might spring out of somewhere there! :) Nice.

Hehe... Gandalf is just around the corner. ;) Thanks for the kind comment. :)

Lite fridfullare sceneri nu än när slaget vid Lund stod...:o)...var hittade du fel på den här..undrar jag...den är ju utmärkt...90 är rättvist...det blir en nia !

"Pastoral" has been the predominant word used to describe this scene and I have to agree. What a lovely scene. Beautiful and deep colors, perfect composition and great light. 10/10 and into favs.

wow!! I think you found paradise on earth. Snyggt jobbat,10/10!

That's it. Im sold. When can i move?

Den här bilden fick mej att uppleva sommaren för en stund, mycket fin bild. / HJ

Sweden is a great place, glad to see you shared its beauty with us :)

Absolutely gorgeous scenery! beautiful colors, and great composition.

Send more of your less than perfect pictures. We in the States can enjoy them. A beautiful green. I've only seen this green in Europe..

Oh my! This makes me long to go there and just sit and pray! It makes me think of Psalm 23.

Beautifully green and plush. Lovely picture. :o)

Rosa

This is so nice thanks for sharing

Wow, I'm glad you decided to post it! Its a very good picture. I don't ever get to see landscape like this, and this makes me wish I could even more. Nice pic and straight to the faves.

Thanks. :)

This is great man, would make for a very challenging golf course. :) Nice work.

Guess so... ^_^ Tnx!

I'm glad you posted this. I love the perspective. It's very intimate and a beautiful scene. I just set it as my wallpaper background. Thanks for posting!

Everytime I read something like: "I didn't think it was good enough" or something like this , it's always a masterpiece. (members in Caedes are getting too humble, lol). This picture is, even if it's a little dark to the left, but personaly I like the pictures as they are , all natural. Very pleasant quite and beautiful scene. Thanks Klas.

Nice photo.

Damn I would like to be there,looks so peaceful,quiet and calming. Love my life in the city,but sometimes I wish I could just go away and rest in nature.

The colors are great and the water leads the eye through the whole Picture, really good shot !

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Cities are nice and practical and can be beautiful in it´s own right. Nature is the ultimate artist though. :)
