    Steve I like this image alot. The intense expression and speed of this guy is remarkable. The image appears to be nice and sharp in the eye. Would have been nice with more FG and not as much BG....but in these situations keeping them in the frame is a challenge and you did well. Because you can tell this guy is really honking!! Great capture.
    Best,

    Sharpness on the image is just right and if this was underexposed it does not look it. I am wondering how it would have looked with him against the grass BG and not the rock. The rock being closer to him is rather sharp. Well done.

    I also wish he was placed a little higher in the frame. What does work is the sense of power portrayed by his muscular structure and the determination on his face. I also like how the light brings out the coloration of his horn.

    This image has lots of potential. Sharp and well exposed.. With thi implied motion of the ram going diagonal down to the right in the frame I would have given the image more FG for the ram to move into...

    You did well for one capture, and, I would be proud to call it mine.
    I saw a Bull Elk running full speed down a mountain, it is a awesome sight. Hard to believe they can stay on their feet with all the rocks falling as they run.Double back this one up!!
    Best,

    Steve I love the intensity of this ram. It must have been quite a sight to see. I'd agree with the others about the extra foreground space.
