    More nice action captured with your usual high IQ. The kicked up snow and the look in the eye really add to this.

    TFS,

    What a great action shot. I really like the eye. Good exposure and techs. I like the flying snow and the way the curve of the horn parallels the rams hind quarters.

    I kind of hate the word "Awesome" as it is so overused, but I find it's what I want to say to react to this image. Love your story telling.

    Dale you always come up trumps and this is a real cracker, love the impact, just wish we had sound to go with the image.

    A difficult subject nail, as expected, be good to see more of your images Dale in the coming New Year.

    Love this shot, love the snowy BG, the snow flying off of both rams hooves and I love the look in the eye of the upended ram! Well captured. TFS

    Neat capture. And you really did a nice job of showing off the crazy, glazed look of the eyes when they get to head bumping.

    This capture kicks some major butt, as did the ram.

    PS: Just read your blogs on your trip and it was very informative and educational. Thank you.
