It was very close to sunset when I found this Audad. I love the way the light covers part od the animal and the woods around it. This is from a ranch in the Hill Country of Texas.

Thanks for looking at my picture and for any comments.

Jack, I most like the symmetry and your perspective on those wonderfully curled horns. Nice light too!

I really love the colors in this, thanks to the sunset, along with the somewhat dramatic lighting. I also like how it seems to be walking towards me...

Great light and head-on angle.
I feel the image as a whole is a tad soft (perhaps you should've stopped down some?)
Fine detail is also not as I would expect it at your settings...

Perhaps crop from the top to remove the pieces of branches
