Thanks for all the other entries
... that we got, despite the initial technical problems with the jpg ; although the RAW would definitely have been the better starting point ;-)
Here are few personal, selected comments.
- The winning sepia version, with the pronounced vignette, from @AlanSh created something quite different to the original and it becomes an old style postcard-like image from an almost forgotten era.
works well and was obviously popular

.
- @minniev 's version stays with the modern colour reality and produced an edit that is quite similar to my original , it shows the bright sun beyond the shade and the sheep are easily visible with the shadows raised and colour temp raised to a bit more than my original edit. Works well but in reality the sheep looked a bit darker in the shade.

.
@in2lapland 's version is brighter and more colourful and highly saturated, showing all the shadow details, but definitely moves away from the idea that it is darker and more pleasant under the tree in the shade, compared to that burning heat outside. The result looks like it has been made in some HDR mode.

@Andrew546 's version is less colourful and darker, but more "real" , it emphasizes the difference of the burning heat outside where the yellow grass and the sky are almost merging together in their full brightness, while the sheep are sheltering in that pleasant shade.

.
@ErikWithaK 's "more or less natural" version was a last minute entry and nearly won !
However, the grass and sky in the sunny area is not as bright as it was "in real life" as i saw it, which makes the image have a somewhat flat appearance.

.
@AlainCh2 's version takes a different view and makes it a rainy day. I didn't have an umbrella with me that day, so glad it didn't rain "in real life " ;-)
interesting idea and more or less works as intended.
...just a small note: I think we should avoid adding our own "watermarks" on an edited image from someone else.
Edit : thanks for removing it :-)

.
And finally for, just for fun,
... here is my original edited version for comparison:
...looking at the others, I feel now that I could have made the sunny area, outside the shaded tree, even brighter.
