I knew this better version existed, but had been unable to find the negative until late last night. It is quite badly damaged, having nice been commercially scanned, and this image still needs some work, but it's in reasonable shape, tho' not absolutely final.
LATER. I've refreshed the image originally posted, and hope it looks better now.

My email software (Mac "Mail") is rendering the image very dark for some reason. Please let me know if it also looks too dark to you, and I'll make an email version.

Dave I post a JPEG straight from the desktop after P&P and as far as I can tell have very few problems, give it a go.

Mike - I do exactly the same and this image looks fine if opened in Photoshop, but for some reason is behaving oddly in other software.
I've replaced the image I originally posted.

I've also noticed a difference between the desktop and Lr in my case!

Magical setting, also like that almost all the sheep are looking at the photographer, very funny.
Guess I have to get out next time my neighbouring sheep are covered in mist.
-
Great capture - I really like it. I also find it funny that the sheepies are all looking at the camera. Usually with my luck - I get the derrière
-
As magical as the first one.
What I didn't noticed on the first one is the mist. So I am going to have another look on it to find out ! :D

I do not comment because I am on my phone again ... yet I can assure you that someone likes to be introduced
to these places at good light ....

Thanks for your comments, everybody. It is nice - and funny - that all the sheep were looking in my direction; makes a better image, too.
Elsa - I often find that if the animals haven't immediately run off, making a sharp or loudish noise will often get them looking your way.

Dave, this newer one looks better, because it looks odder!
It is difficult for me to judge if the image is too dark, possibly because the lighting is tricky: diffused by the fog and backlit.
The overall image looks brighter and more contrasty than the original one in the initial thread. But my monitor is years old and not calibrated in terms of either color or brightness.
Nevertheless, the image is attractive enough.

I think the best thing about this version is the sheep standing much closer than the others. The fact that all the sheep were looking at me is an extra bonus.
Rosko - I shot 6 exposures before the sheep ran away; 3 are good. But the mist is slightly different in each shot and a couple of minutes later disappeared completely. I was very lucky - without the mist there is really no shot there.

Looks great to me !

Thanks, Armando.

A splendid composition indeed, and the sheep are grouped in a very interesting way. All open for speculation ;)

If you think I constructed this image -

Open for speculation what the sheep might thinking, was what I meant.

Oh, on this great island where were-rabbits flourish (according to Wallace & Gromit), surely there must be were-sheep as well. Thus , obviously they were just looking sternly at the photographer to evaluate his worth as a quick snack :D

Sorry, John - I thought you were questioning my integrity as a photographer - something I am quite protective about.
Bjørn comes close - they did have food on their minds and very likely mistook me (humans all look the same) for the farmer who gives them their winter feed every day - which is why they remained docile and interested for as long as they did.

A known wildlife photographers trick here is to dress like a farmer which is an all blue coverall, this works wonders on both the life stock but also the wildlife whom have learned by now that the farmers are harmless to them. Walk around in camo and they get spooked easily.

No problem, David. Perhaps I expressed myself wrong, but it was clear you re-discovered your old film-negatives ;)

Great shot!
Brings something to my mind which I consider well spend 90 minutes.
Camouflage? don't know ???
You may want to watch this movie (https://youtu.be/0gEDUDmZkyc).

Revenge of the sheep - nice one, Thomas.

Really nice! I like this one ;) They all look like they like you!
