Sheep in the wind

[Doug Kerr]

A handsome family of sheep on a small ranch on the aptly-named Scenic Trail (runs off Ranch House Road!) in Willow Park, Texas (about 6 miles east of our home in Weatherford):

It's the prairie wind - I can't do a thing with it.

Canon EOS 40D, Sigma 18-200 mm f/3.5-6.3 OS @ 78 mm, f/11, 1/400 sec, ISO 400. 66%x73% crop of original frame, seen at 35% of original resolution.

I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of "sharpness" of the image. I think focus was initially well on, and I applied a little sharpening in post (with another application after downsizing). Perhaps the muted colors contribute to my impression.

As is customary around here, the herd is guarded by a donkey, who came right over to the fence to check me out!
