Sweet capture Dan Particularly like the feel Excellent pose and love that prominent eye. Light foreground and darker background sure set the image nicely !!! Big Congrats !!!
Dan,
I got a interesting pose. The f7.1 aperture has given you sufficient depth of field to cover the subject. You got it nicely at 1/250 sec. You have shot at ISO 100. During action scenes, you can also use the ISO 200. It is equally good. The eye contact and FG and BG colours have been mentioned in previous posts. Overall, I liked this shot. Look forward to more.
Cheers,

Now that's what I call eye contact! Great capture, Dan. I do wish more of the FG near the animal was a bit more in focus but, overall, it's a beautiful image.
The obvious contrast here of the light tan grass and the sheeps coat of dark brown is a real plus. I like the rolled head too. Do you have some of him with a straight on look at you?
This is a nice shot of a common ram behavior. I'm not sure if your familiar with Sheep behavior, but this is what biologist refer to as the low stretch, a dominance display, generally done around other rams, but this time of year, they do it around ewes as well as part of the pre-rut game.
From a critique stand point, great eye contact and sharpness.
