Sheeeeep!

It's been a long time since I've reviewed/posted anything here, so hello!
Basically, I'm off for half term now (a week of heaven <3), so I'm hoping I'll maybe get some nice shots. The only problem is... well... I've majorly gone off photography at the moment D; I don't care about it any more, which is sad but, I'm hoping I'll get back into it again, because the main reason I've went off it is just the lack of time I have! School is really taking over. Teachers pushing for coursework assignments, having to do extra curricular stuff so I can put it on my personal statement next year, having to decide what university I want to go to, and what course by mid March! It's also my birthday soon, so I'll be learning to drive too! Then, loads of revision for very important exams - the exams which university base their offers on
ANYWAY, sorry about my little rant...
Essentially, today, I hoped you guys might be able to get me into photography again, with some good criticism or just general comments that may inspire me!
Some of you will probably have seen these before, but I posting lots of photos never helped me much - it was too much for people to review etc.
So yeah, the photos:

Baa!

What's over there?

Thanks in advance for having a look!

These are really cute! Good job getting the sheep to look at you. The photos are very clear, and nice titles. In fact, they're so great that there's nothing to critique!

Just as funkymomo said its EXTREMELY hard to capture a sheeps attention long enough to take great pictures like these! Great lighting, levels of perception are proper and the focus is outstanding. The captions are nice too, so overall a very good piece of photography!

Goodness! I have tried to photograph sheep before but they never come out like this. (I always get them glaring at me or in mid "baa") The first one is for sure my favorite. I LOVE the contrast and the texture of the sheep's face, the black and white works perfectly in this one. Love how sharp these images are (grainy is another problem I ALWAYS have) and they are just so adorable! Amazing.

thanks everyone!

These are fantastic! Though I have to admit, I like your colored shots better. The black and white one is a bit too dull. The colored ones have the right sort of vibrancy! And I love the detail in your shots.

Also, lambs are fun! Especially when they're together. Although I wouldn't trust them if I were you, lol.

Hope school gets better!

I love sheep! Just take a look at my username And these lambs are adorable. I honestly can't find anything wrong with photos. They all have great titles, great color, great expression, and they are all very clear. For some reason I think these should be in a calandar.
Have an amazing day

Dude you have a serious gift, dont give up and try to make time for it
Love it,

I must say, these are beautiful photos. The sheep also look SO CUTE (this is coming from a person who has seen a lot of sheep around). I honestly don't know much about photography, but I never really took a second glance at photos of sheep until these.

Wow. What a fantastic job you have done. You have some outstanding talent. Just a couple of things from my opinion: The first picture really stands out, and is quite different from the rest, probably not my favorite either, but it's definitely unique. On the exploration picture, to me, it looks like the sheep is just ready to charge at me any second; it's not just exploring around the area! haha, So, maybe a different title for that one would be better. But all in all, these pictures are great! You do such a nice job of making each picture clear, and not blurred. Keep up the great work!

Aww, thier so cute. Great photos, the only I didn't love is the first one, just because sheep are already colorless enough, but either way, awesome job.

thank you everyone for your comments! really appreciated!

OMG! The cuteness of these fluffy white cotton balls is so overwhelming!
I want to kiss a duck.
