Lunch Quewe

Hay here's lunch, sheep quewe in the snow for a munch today near Peebles. A variation on one of my Christmas shots of animals feeding.

A Note on Technique:
Shot at Iso 400, with a 180mm (270mm on APS sized digital sensor). Handheld at 1/800th f2.8.

The use of a wide aperture makes the sheep at the front sharp but throws those behind out of focus. This, combined with the compressing of distance caused by using a telephoto lens, helps to further the eye's impression of a line of sheep.
