Nice light and setting. The framing is right on. The image gives us a good sense of where these big horns live.

I like the pose of the ram, I would suggest reducing the foreground a little and increasing the sky a little and also reduce contrast slightly. The grass in the mouth and the strong eye contact are positive points.

Hi Kevin, Moving a bit more to your left may have helped hide his modesty here. :w3

Agree with Jon, re less FG and more above. The Contrast is masking the detail you have and sharpening, I would also burn his rear, to get a bit more tone in ge whites. I might be tempted going a fraction cooler with the winter light, but your call.
