Hi Diane, thanks for the message. Yes such is the internet I'm afraid. It's popped up in countless places over the years and almost always with no attribute! Very frustrating!

Hi Richard

I well remember you telling us all on the Talkphotography forum that you had an image that had reached the final of the Countryfile calendar comp. I remember also the excitement when you told us it was the winner. It was well deserved and at the time I had an idea it would become a timeless great.

It is the nature of the internet I suppose that it will be ‘used’ and lo and behold it is ‘doing the rounds’ at this very moment on Facebook. Every time it’s posted it is accompanied by lots of ooo’s and aww’s. There is never a suggestion as to who the photographer is so I have told my friends and added a link to your website. Hope this is OK.

Yesterday, someone sent me the e-mail titled “National Geographic Best Shots of 2009″ with this picture in it. Much belated congratulations. Strange that I stumbled on your site the next day. Your shot was memorable enough that I knew it right away.

Just goes to show that good things come to those who wait.

Congratulations on the capture and the subsequent success of the photograph.

I remember seeing your image a few years ago and just felt like looking for it today. I have sheep too, pet ones, but we lambed in the winter so didnt get any beautiful green lamb jumping pictures such as this.
The behavior is actually called Pronging, and I have one adult sheep who still does it from time to time.

I am so glad to have found this blog post! I have loved this photo since the first time I saw it in 2008 and always wondered about what it took to get such a perfect shot. It is such a pleasure to read about your experiences that day and to see the outtakes. What fun! Thank you so much for sharing. I’m off to buy this image on some greeting cards!!
