I'd crop out the half a sheep at camera right leaving a terrific "Icelandic Sheep Gothic"

Nice catch.

Are these wild sheep that are native to Iceland? Or are they a domestic breed?


"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

They are a domestic breed brought to Iceland by the Vikings. These ones are pretty young (about a year) my girlfriends mom got 4 of them for felting and to make hats, clothes etc..

Great capture, but I'd definitely crop off the right side. The half sheep is distracting.
