But after six hours, and troughs full of food, photographer Carys Mair Evans captured this stunning image to help Young Farmers' Clubs in Wales raise funds for the British Heart Foundation. She got two flocks of in-lamb ewes to form a heart shape at a farm in Llanfair, Powys. Photographer Carys Mair Evans got two flocks of in-lamb ewes to form a . heart shape and then took a picture of it to help Young Farmers' Clubs in Wales raise funds for the . British Heart Foundation . Carys, 21, of Llanfair Caereinion, who runs her own photography business, is in the final year of a photography degree at Carmarthen University. She said it was no easy task to get the final shot, with the end product requiring more than six hours of cajoling and two separate flocks of sheep. The commission for the picture came from Gwenno Griffiths, the chair of Wales YFC, who is fundraising for the BHF as part of her 'Chairman's Challenge'. Carys explained she was delighted to receive the commission and couldn't wait to get started. She said: 'I was really happy about it and it had me written all over it. I was in Carmarthen at the time when they rang me and I got up and got dressed and went straight home and set about planning it with my family. The next morning I got up and we set about it straight away." The picture was taken at her uncle's Robert Davies' farm, Adwy wynt in Llanfair, but only after first attempting to get the shot at her parents' farm, Plas Iolyn.
