I thought they were in disguise and going to ROB THE PLACE !!! Like the B&W think it makes for a more powerful presentation.
They don't look happy with the entire situation.. Perhaps the losers become RACK OF !!!

Bonnie C. Lackey level-classic August 22, 2011

The first time I saw sheep in their coats I was astonished. They seem to take it in stride. I do like the b&w as it sets off the rings around the eyes. Neat! #9620781

Just got back from a visit to the state fair with my grandkids. I came back with several shots of simarly clad sheep, none of which looks nearly as good in color as your b-w conversion. I'll have to revisit them in monochrome. Thanks for the inspiration. #9651644
