    Although Big Horn Sheep are not that exciting, ( They are sheep!) I was thought it was a privilege to photograph this herd
    for an hour or so near Jasper, Canada.
    13 adults and 2 youngsters. They pretty much ignored me.

    Hi Dan - nice to see the grouping and the colors and sharpness look good. I do feel it's a little tight on the left, top and bottom. Any where the upper sheep's head is more parallel with the others?

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Dan, I would agree with Rachel, overall it's just too tight all round. If you have the space then a wider crop & RP would be good.

    I can't believe you think these sheep are not exciting. I would be so thrilled to see and photograph them. Love the feel of the grasses. Would like to see more space at least top and left. The good poses of the front and top sheep with a little more space where indicated could really improve this capture.

    nice scene here, Dan
    exposure and detail look good, I too am bothered by the tightness all round!
    is this cropped at all?
    did you get some impressive rams?
