Comment from With Grace
Wow that's a lot of sheep for that one lonely shepherd. The landscape looks bare and not able to support many crops. The water is not to good I would think. Great picture. Susan

Comment from ArtistCharles
This is a good landscape shot, but I don't think that is what you want us to see. I marked this down a little because your intent or message isn't coming through the image. If we are to see the sheep and goats they are so far into the image we can't really see them. If the focus is on the Shepard then that is where we should be led n the image. The technical aspects of the shot are good - focus, exposure and color all work.

Comment from Minnie Kaye
This makes me think of Moses in the wilderness.
Everyone, animals included drinking from the river.
I love seeing the mass mounds of earth and the small amounts of vegetation.
I like traveling through your photo's.
It is so nice, thanks for sharing.

I found this photo to be very well done in all ways. The coloration is perfect and could not be better in my opinion. This work is exactly what i needed for my poem and I thank this artist for a lovely package here. HIS GRAYNESS; Vance

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Wonder from where you took this shot!:) Looks like a inhospitable region. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good effort!

Comment from alaskapat
Wow! This is a scene that I would never see in person so I really appreciate your photo! The red formation and water are incredible to view! This is very well presented with good technical elements, very interesting to see the Shepherd with his herds near the river. It looks like it's very hot and dry! That red water is amazing!
