MARY & HER LAMB - Work in Progress 1
Today's work in progress.
The composition of this portrait came about in a round about way, and goes to show that it's worth pursuing the merest spark of an idea. It began when a client loved the way her baby was touching the sheep's face in this photo. Sadly there was rather more of the sheep than her daughter, but as it turned out, there was another photo of baby on her own, which was much better. The client accepted my suggestion to 'invent' a lamb, in order to go with her original idea ... and we were in business :)
