The Puzzle(s) Of Sunbeams

If this was back in September, when I should have been working on the calendar, I'd have maybe put this picture in the running.  I love sunbeams breaking through trees.  Add in some sheep or horses and it only makes it better.  I love the peace of this picture.  I could look at it for a full month...

...if it wasn't so heavy on the dark bottom area.  Using a square format now, this sometimes happens.  If I crop the picture to balance out the heavy lower half then I lose a bunch of the sheep and sunbeams that make the picture what it is.  As it is, the sheep are almost lost, becoming part of the background.

I like this cropping better and I brightened it up to better match real life that morning.  The sheep are now as much of the story as the sunbeams.  As they should be ;-).  I really like this picture.  I'd like to use it for the calendar.

Here is a further cropping...which would put it in the correct format.  The sunbeams don't look too bad.  The sheep look okay, too, but there are now three missing from the first picture.  I'm not sure which three, but it doesn't matter.  I don't want to lose any sheep.

Ah...overthinking...  

The first thing Saint Tim would notice was the broken fence plank ;-).

I thought the top picture would make a fun puzzle and it did.  When I saw the picture posted to the blog was when I noticed the unbalance and so did some editing.  The second picture made a good puzzle, too.  You can find them, and other puzzles, here.
