Nice action pose Dale. Nice looking ram, looks like he's seen a battle or two! Exposed well and plenty sharp.
It's been a while , hope all is well and you had a nice holiday season.

Well captured Dale. A classic "in-your-face" ram action pose. I like the snow that he is kicking up.

super sharp detail and like the snow moving around the body...Very nice image Robert!

[peter delaney]

love the pose of the ram... I do find the OOF birds in BKG a little distracting ..

[Todd Frost]

Peter, not to but in for Dale but I believe the bg you see is a hllside in shadow giving the snow a blue tint w/oof brush, rocks etc...

slowly loosing the plot.. LOL Peter, I thought the same thing when I first viewed the image, thought they were crows.

Head forward, raised hoof, snow being sprayed from the movement, a very nice image indeed Dale with some action. perfect. :cheers:

hehe seems like Steve and Peter need to spend less time in the Avian forum ;) :p

nice shot Dale - love the pose and crisp details!
maybe tone down the blue in the shadow areas a tad?

[Robert Amoruso]

I agree with the previous comments. Well done!

Like the pose and the snow flying around the feet. Also like the chunk missing from his horn.
