Bighorn Sheep

Photographed some more bighorns near Georgetown, CO this morning. Finally starting to show a little more activity. Thanks for looking.

Nice image Dan. Exposure and detail look good, I like the bg as well as the brush near the ram. Nice flehmen pose captured. I might take a bit from the bottom (to brisket) to remove bright triangle between front legs. Well done.

Beautiful pose and lighting here Dan, nice detail and agree on a slight crop off the bottom.

Dan,

Great stuff, these Bighorns really make for a good subject, great pose, light and sharpness.

Judging by the horns he has had quite a few battles.

[DanWalters]

Thanks for the comments! The horns on the others are also showing quite a few battle scars.

Hey Dan,
Love the pose, curled lip, and eye contact. Also like the way the comp shows the muscles of the chest and shoulders.

P.S. I was there in the afternoon. Did you see the one that looks like he took a shot to the eye?

Dan , this is one the most beautiful image of this sheep I have seen here
