A Portrait of Farm Animals and Farm Life in Winter , taken on a freezing morning at dawn just after a flurry of snow , when the night had been so cold that the sheep in the fields not only had snow upon them but their wool was white and frozen with frost. This portrait of sheep and the landscape creates a real storytelling composition of what life is like for all those that inhabit a farm. A symbolic representation of the resilience through hardship that occurs in everyday rural life in extreme environments. Taken from a low pov with telephoto zoom to get a true feeling of the perspective across the landscape of a field on a Welsh coastal hill farm . Taken with dawn light it not only softens the mood of the image and adds an emotive connection between the subject and the viewer but it also adds wto the compositional choice to take the animals coming over the brow of the hill the impression that you are watching the rural world wake up on a winter morn.
