Unprocessed, original copy for comparison.

You managed to really pull something good out of the original. I like the composition and pose. It has an Audubon print look to it.

[Todd Frost]

Steve,
I agree with David as you were able to make a nice image out of this. You might look at a slightly different crop by giving the sheep more room to look into (crop from right side instead of left). Just a thought, see what you think.

I think they call this "making a silk purse out of a sow's ear." Well done. I'm impressed. I like Todd's idea about the crop.

[Van Hilliard]

Remarkable job. I never would have suspected your starting point. It's a really fine image.

[Fabs Forns]

Great rescue, agree on trying the crop with more room to the left, although I must admit the bush to the right IS very attractive.

[Steve Canuel]

Thanks everyone for the comments and the suggestion of the different crop.

[Todd Frost]

I like this crop better. You have got a winner out of one most times would have been trashed!

I agree with Todd above. I would have never guessed you got the re-posted image from the foggy original. By the way, your bighorn images are dynamite. Keep them coming.

[Steve Wheeler]

I too like the cropped re-post... Closer in and greater focus on, and interest in the ram.
Amazing you pulled that out of the original... Really nicely done.
