Captured this one performing a flehmen response. I just do not like the clutter on the bottom. Still not sure about this one. Thanks for looking.

An interesting angle, I would just crop the bottom off, it seems to work ok to me.

Dan, Ive enjoyed your Bighorn series, and good pose captured here. Another vote to crop off the bottom. Seeing that he is looking up, adding to the top will still give you a good vertical comp.

Hi Dan: Another awesome bighorn shot with beautiful exposure control and nice detail. It funny that I liked the first one better even though this one is more of a behavior shot. I guess because that first one was as near to a perfect photo as it gets. Thanks for these.

I think the repost is too much of a crop and some image quality has been lost. I would have preferred leaving all of the space other than the bottom.

Hi Dan Looks mighty fine with the new crop !!! Compelling part of the image is the behavior !!! Love it !!

Hey Dan. I like the angle on this one as well as him keeping an eye on you. I personally don't mind the FG sticks. The color and texture kind of ties him into the environment for me. As for alternate crops, I thought this one was kind of interesting as an option although it may be too much for this comp. Let me know if you'd like it removed.

Thanks for the comments. Thanks Steve for the crop suggestion. I do like the vert better, but no need to remove. I always appreciate different ideas.

Dan, I like the great pose and eye contact in the image. I like your repost, but I like Steve's crop even more. Very nicely done.
