Sweet image, Todd. I like the environmental elements and of course the pose of the ram. If you have it, I might consider a little more room on the left, less on the right. Eye contact is great.

Could also add this pose shows the power of the animal !!! Excellent capture !!!

That's a fantastic photo, Todd!

I just love the way the ram is leaning into the rock face.

Composition, exposure and sense of drama all excellent.

I like the Ram's posture lining up with the slope of the rock. Sharp, with good light on the eye. The snow on top adds to the image nicely.

great environmental shot! is this what they call the 'Bighorn'? pin sharp and as Stu said the snow adds nicely

Todd,
I like this image. You have been creating some nice images of these Rams. I was waiting for a vertical image from you. Nice diagonal composition. Good eye contact. The raised front legs adds a lot to the image. The image is sharp. Nice details. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the comments. Had fun with these guys, spent a good deal of time (0 degrees and below) out there with them. Got lots of images. I think the cold fingers were worth it!

Your dedication shows here, working in sub-zero temps to get such wonderful shots. I like the vertical framing, the eye contact and the mid-jump capture.

Great pose Todd. Gives a good sense of the power and agility it takes to live where they live. Nice sense of environment, color and sharpness look real good. Would personally like to see where he's jumping to.

Very efective composition that shows the agility and movement of the sheep. habitat is also very nice Todd.
