    Went in tight for this ram and then cropped in a bit tighter. See what you think.

    I love these kind of images. So much detail to study and a uniquely great perspective. Good exposure and sharpness but I suspect I'd have placed the eye more to the left. Congrats. JR

    That looks great! Great detail and texture, makes a good comp. Agree on moving eye to left a bit.

    Like your thinking behind this one Todd, having say another inch 'or so' on the RHS would really help. Nice detail & colour. Might be worth posting the actual image FF as this might offer some more cropping suggestions which would take out the guessing. :)

    I like the idea here and agree with Steve, post the full frame one so we can comment on cropping.

    I am confused by 1/4000 at f/5.6? IMO more DOF was needed here to get as much as possible sharp.

    I feel 1/500 @ f/16 would have been closer to what you want.

    Todd - I like this and your thinking to get it in the field, great detail. I agree with the others though that I'd like to see the eye more to the left.

    TFS,

    I like these type of images.. This is well done only small nit from me is the eye seems a bit close to the edge of the frame but I'm not sure of what else you could have done. Well done Todd....

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. It's a file from a couple winters back but IIRC I have a bit more room especially to the front of ram, I'll have to find the original.
    Robert: I was shooting a couple of rams at this spot and was wide open for isolation from bg when this guy came in close making me continually back up (those pesky rules and rangers @ YNP you know) hence the techs.

    Todd,

    I tried a similar comp in the past with big horns and never came close to your comp. Really like this composition.
    Very well done.
