    John,

    This is a real beauty, how on earth do they manage to run around on that scree?

    My only gripe would be that the image is not large enough, I would love to see a close up of the head.

    Nice clean image John, like the inclusion of the environment/habitat as it gives the shot context. Not sure if the horn of the other Ram (rear back leg) adds anything or could it be removed to give a cleaner look?

    The diagonals gives the image a nice compositional tension.

    Nice to see you posting John. Love these sheep and this is a nice capture of one in habitat. I like the different shades of color in the BG rocky slope.

    Like the walking pose and the surrounding environment. Can almost hear the sheep walking across the loose rock.

    John, excellent exposure, sharp, and I like the placement in the frame. I do like how most of the sheep is against the distant OOF BG.

    Steve, I actually like the reminder the OOF sheep gives me with regard to the rest of the group, but I realize that is my personal memory - I agree with you. If I was to make a FA print, the OOF sheep would go. Thanks for your insight and look at the details.
