Just trying out my new old Sigma 17-70mm. Not a lot of PP except for raw conversion with UFRaw and ImageMagick. Did let UFRaw set the blackpoint automatically and added a bit of local contrast with USM on a high radius and low strength.

With the image of the sheep I added some grass on the right side as they were a bit to tightly framed and I removed their earmarks (ugly bright yellow plastic things) with GIMP's heal selection script = content-aware fill for de Photoshop adepts).

Mike, these are lovely images. Love the perspective on the 3rd, and the sheep are terrific. Thanks for sharing and for explaining your process.

You sure made dandelion seeds look attractive. I like all of these but like Tess, the third one stands out.
