Calendar request !!!!!

Well it's that time of year, I need to do the photo's for next years calendar for the horse rescue,

The charity has asked me for one of the photo's to have the three sheep and the goat on it, easy you may say, but they are not particular obliging and i spent the whole day running {well sort of } around the farm trying to capture the four together, well it didn't happen.

So photoshop to the rescue so to speak, now honest views please does this look silly, the people from the rescue was well pleased, but i'm not so sure

Re: Calendar request !!!!!

I'm not keen.

My primary concern is the sunlight is shining on the left side of the goat but on the right side of the two sheep on the right. Looks very unnatural to my eye.

Sorry#

Re: Calendar request !!!!!

My problem is that they don't really graze or stay together, i think this was my best shot of Larry and Elizabeth, but of course it's missing the other two



and this one of wilma




And i really find sheep hard to photo except for wilma because of the white thingy

Re: Calendar request !!!!!

Sorry musky, it doesn't look right. I'd go along the lines of what Cakey said and put the charity logo in the background.

I always find it difficult to criticise another persons work because I know how much one puts into the workflow.

A big well done for helping out the charity and I hope you do get something suitable
