A couple of flocks.............

Thought that would get your attention JJ but these are flocks of birds. The first ones are curlews followed by slender-billed gulls.

Fantastic photos, Adrian. They almost look three-dimensional! Thank you for sharing another set in a long line of fabulous bird photos!

Very nice sea birds Adrian, think that flock would be a bit high of the ground and just a bit fast for the BKL ewe chaser.

One of those days I will have enough time to teach you.
The concept behind it is very very simple. Just time consuming to get it looking good. All done using layer masks.

Those are what JJ wears when he goes out into the field to sneak up on his ewes.

If I showed you a bad one it would shatter the image and ruin my reputation.

You have to ask WHY??? Because you're there, you are JJ, and you like it. End of discussion.

And what our Illustrious Leader Ed said was NOT silly. Layer masks could indeed be worn to sneak up on your sheep. You should thank him for suggesting such a clever workaround to the dilemma of those rare ewes that don't want a good shagging when YOU want to!
