Rocky Mountain Ewe Yearling

[Katherine Enns]

Hi Folks, here is a little rocky mountain bighorn sheep ewe, taken near Deer Park, north of here last summer. I was using my new at the time Canon XSi, and I have no shot info, sorry. My thinking is, she looks sort of like she has been to the taxidermist, recently, but I am not sure why this is, as she was alive during the shot! :D

Hi Kat

Agree on your assessment does look frozen :) You got a good pose, light is fine and a pleasing bg. Would like more room particularly up front We normally like to leave room for the animal to move into. Also can sharpen the head area just a bit more !!! I like it a lot !!!

Ah yes, thanks Al, quite right, Bruce has taught me this. Thanks again.

PS I guess I am dancing around posting a shed, the picture from Alcatraz got me!

Nice elegant pose Katherine. I like it. Al's suggestions are great! Thanks for sharing.

Very lovely feel to this one, nice habitat also. Agree on sharpening the head and wish she didn't have a wooden tail :)

Thanks, I have no idea how to sharpen around a section of a photo. Guess I will ask you know who. I didnt even NOTICE the stick exiting the rear end...you folks are really teaching me to look at my photos more carefully. Now I must look through the view finder more carefully too. No excuse with static photos but with a moving subject, I took pot luck.
