Photographer's Note
Mount Saint Michel seems out of a fairy tale book with its magical architecture and location, its no wonder why this place has attracted pilgrins for generations.
Despite the 589 pictures already posted of this place, I decided to contribute with one more as I did not found any with this same POV, color treatment and compo. Note that the focus was deliberated put on the sheeps on the foreground with a small f number to create a shallow Mont-Saint Michel, a sort of mirage-like-feeling...

Bonjour Flavia,
Charmant tableau bucolique,j'hesiterai même à choisir entre les moutons blancs et le Mont St michel.
Merci du partage.

Nice triplet! ;-)
Nice composition too! I think that blurred mountain at the background is really good!
Bravo Flavia and thanks for sharing!

Hi Flavia.
Well,... this is a very interesting contribution but I think I would prefer black and white than sepia tone and maybe I'm confused but it looks to me a bit tilt. Of course, it could the line of the horizont and not the picture. But, most important, I could be wrong and that's not important... but the sepia tone doesn't work to me.
Once I've said that: I think it is very smart how you used the DOF and also your composition.
Well done.

Fine shot Flavia - the composition is excellent. And so lucky to find just three sheep - that magic number for us photographers. It also has a wonderfully nostalgic feel to it, almost as if it could have been taken 100 years ago. Good choice of DOF - the sheep are the stars here, the Mont the supporting cast.
Very well done, Roberto

Olá Flávia,
já tinha visto algumas fotos do Mount Saint Michel, mas não com a originalidade que você nos apresenta. Dá a impressão de que você pediu para essas ovelhinhas pousarem para a foto. A disposição delas está perfeita e arrisco a dizer que são definitivamente o tema central da foto. A opção pelo sépia me agrada também. Ótimo trabalho!
Abraço,
Carlos

Bonjour Flavia
Voila ce qu'on appelle une tondeuse naturelle...une ou deux cordes pour solidariser le tout et hop !
Le choix de flouté le Mont est sympa et permet de recentrer l'interet sur les moutons, pourquoi ne l'avoir pas accentué plus finalement ?
A+

Well, with 589 pictures already posted of this place, you are very ambitious to post yet another, Flavia, but I guess the sheep saved you! The Mont itself is lovingly blurred and has to be content with a background role. Strange how the three sheep seem almost identical, like clones...but then again that impressive Mont draws my attention. Good picture!

Olá Flavia,
a principio pensei ser os 3 porquinhos na ativa novamente, mas parecem ovelhas né. Bem interessante e original essa composição, e gostei do fundo levemente desfocado também. Ótimo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

bonjour flavia,
les trois moutons affairés a brouter l'herbe font la photo a eux tout seul, le MTS rempli majestueusement l'arrière plan, suis pas trop fan du virage sépia, un simple noir et blanc aurait eu plus d'impact.

Bonjour Flavia,
le Mont Saint-Michel se dresse fierement en arrière plan, l'alignement de ces trois moutons est cocasse.
Le B&W joue bien ici, enlevant toute modernité, que cette photo n'avait pas besoin.
Bien vu.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Hello Flavia,
A very creative POV to focus on the three sheeps with Mount Saint Michel as a BG. The composition is certainly very pleasing to view, the eyes are led immediately to the sheeps but won't leave without looking at that spectacular piece of architecture.

Olá Flavia!
Sem dúvida uma forma original de mostrar este local. Gosto do b&w mas do que eu gosto mesmo é destas 3 ovelhitas em primeiro plano. A composição está excelente!

Uma foto belissima com as ovelhas em primeiro plano. Excelente focus e baixa profundidade de campo. Gosto da escolha do preto e branco
Abracos e bom fim de semana

realmente, valeu a pena mais esta versão do lugar, os carneiros estão como que puxando o monte para o outro lado, linda opção pelo branco e preto. foto criativa, fugindo do lugar comum, e ao mesmo tempo, elegante. belo trabalho
abraços

Bonjour Flavia
Il était une fois trois moutons qui décidèrent de parcourir le monde. Ils allèrent dans de nombreux pays, goûtant l'herbe, observant les moutons exotiques, levant parfois les yeux et échangeant leurs regards : ils venaient de créer Treksheep.

Hello Flavia,
I like your version of this very photographed place, nice that you chose to focus on the three sheep all in a row and leave the building out of focus, yet still recognizable. Works well in black and white and you have a balanced composition between the sheep and the cathedral.

Wanda

muito boa a opção pelo shallow dof aqui. acho que funcionou muito bem.
gosto da opção pelo sépia, mas gostaria de ver o original em cor.
ótima maneira de mostrar esse ponto turístico-religioso tão famoso.

Quelque chose de mathématique dans cette photo me la fait apprécier beaucoup. On dirait que tout a été découpé et collé à des endroits très stratégiques.

Hello Flavia: so many divergent composition of this famous castle - I would have almost preferred a greater DOF, but you did fine here. regards, c
