    How beautifully done and the lamb is clean….......which one doesn’t usually see. There are some wonderful metaphors for this glorious image. I would think that this would be a wonderful image for someone who has experienced loss in their life. A symbol of hope and protection. Awesome Work!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great capture Lance. Funny how something relatively ordinary can produce a great image given the right lighting, juxtapostion of surrounding elements and comp. That sneak-peek of background to the left of the image really helps to ‘anchor’ this image too. Classy work mate.

    Agree with Ken – this is flawless.
    Interesting comments from Carolyn above, about metaphors for healing:

    ‘I would think that this would be a wonderful image for someone who has experienced loss in their life. A symbol of hope and protection.’

    In a previous life I was (theoretically) a Catholic, and I recall that the Lamb of God is a recurring theme in discussions of redemption and salvation. I presume that the image is based on notions of sacrifice, beauty and purity. Although I now hold no brief for the religious connotations, I have to say that this image is the closest to a perfect representation of this traditional Christian concept.
    Sorry for this diversion into theology – it’s not like me!!!

    What a lovely image this is and the shelter is so significant and moving. I have an artwork of a Collie dog crying to the sky for someone to come and bring the little lamb home from the snowy winter storm. I have had it in my family for nearly my whole life. This capture is just so perfect with the roots of the tree creating a safe nest, I cannot help but be enchanted and comforted by seeing this. An instant favorite for me.
