    Hi Denise...I might be wrong but it looks like a Dall's sheep to me

    Based on body mass I would say Ewe as well. Big Horns / Dall etc 2 year old males are roughly the same size body and horns as adult Ewes.

    Agree with Jared about the sex, and this definitely is not a Dall sheep. Lovely photo BTW.

    Denise,

    I like the head on look and the slight tilt of the head and neck. That adds interest by making the viewer think about what he looking at.

    The bright rock behind the horns is a bit distracting and could have been eliminated by moving left or right. Also a bit more room on the bottom would be good.

    I like how you framed him to the right since the head is leaning left.
