Dall Lamb

Nothing fancy, just a coastal Dall sheep lamb climbing the cliffs above Turnagain Arm on a rainy summer morning.

As always, comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Nice details on this Lamb Guy. I like the mood it creates being an overcast morning, but I do wish for a touch more light. Might have bumped up the exposure a bit..looks like you had room to play with. BTW...you living in AK now?

Agreed Kurt, thanks for the input. Relocated to AK in June, loving it.

Like to see wildlife pictures with shorter focal length like this one. It gives more background and more depth.

Nice work!

Very nice and interesting composition here Guy. Unfortunately the light was not really co-operating by the looks of it. I gree with Kurt that the image could be brightened up a bit more and I would brighten the subject and FG selectivly a bit more than the BG.

It may be a little dark, but I do like this image. It was in this area I first saw wild Dall sheep, brings back good memories. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the move.
