You've achieved here hwat I was aiming for with my posting of the day. Yours has a lot more class Alan with the sheep and dead/alive contrast really standing out.

It would have been interesting to maybe see a dead sheep in the lower half - that would have been the only way to perfect an otherwise perfect image.

I appreciate what you say Scott. . . . and was pleased myself to find so many ways in which the two halves of the picture worked off the other. That said . . . I also believe that pictures can be 'too' balanced. (particularly where that requires the 'slaughter of the innocent' to achieve. :)) Seriously . . . it is often the component which is 'missing' which gives an image strength . . . . .. . something which interrupts the flow. (if you get the gist)

I agree with you about the "missing" sheep in the lower half Alan.
Once I drove through the north of England during the Foot and Mouth outbreak, and it was the absence of any living creature which spoke eleoquently to me.

I can't decide if the symmetry or asymmetry makes this image so good, or maybe its both :-)
