Voted earlier coming back to comment.

Love this capture of the action and the race! What makes this a joy to 'watch' is the young boy just off to the side sporting a laughing face and calling our attention to the sheer silliness by pointing to the racing sheep. It is there that I noticed the extra detail I missed - which is that there is a cabbage patch doll in the leaping sheep's saddle. I see that some of the other sheep also bear doll riders. It must have been a fun day!
