What a handsome face. I love the eyes and the texture of the horns. Nice smooth background. I am still waiting to see one of these in the wild. Maybe this year.

Wow, I love that frontal view Sandy, it really shows off those impressive horns. Are you sure you were not backing up out of fear :biggrin: My only nit really is that you did not post a 1200px version for us to enjoy the detail in this image (which is not a true nit of course). Apart from that this is an excellent portrait.

Good shot. Nice simple comp with clean BG and an impressive set of horns. Looks like he has knocked his right horn tip off. I have heard they do this because it interferes with their peripheral vision.The bighorns I have seen in Yellowstone don't look this reddish. Where did you take this shot?
