    Nice image Dan. I know it would be nice with more eye contact, but it works for me. I spend a lot of time in the mountains and I like the "full conditions" you captured.

    Dan,
    I love the mood that you have captured. I like the snow giving rise to streaks in the image due to the low shutter speed. Depth of field is good. I would have loved it more if you could have moved to your left. A smaller focal length would have given you a different perspective.
    Cheers,

    Dan,

    The head turn would have been the icing on the cake but the wind-driven snow is a real plus. I like how the dark bush on the left does not intersect the ram and balances his bulk out. Nicely composed.

    Hey Dan,
    Nice image of the conditions in which these guys live (and hardcore bighorn shooters shoot!). Of course I'd wish for a head turn but this works as well. He was probably on a hill and the swirling winds can do crazy things but it looks like it could use a bit of a CW tilt to me (upward angle of snow and "leaning forward" sheep).
    Steve
