Mike,
Great pose here, personally I would like more space on the right. At this resolution to my eyes the snow looks a little noisy and also a little blue?

My feelings on the photo are similar to Ken's, particularly regarding the composition. The foreground slope, background rocky slope and shrub in the lower left are nicely positioned and proportioned, however the ram needs more space in front rather than behind him in my opinion. I suspect the noise Ken is seeing might be snow in the air? Thanks for posting this, love seeing Bighorns in other parts of the continent.

Very nice pose in a typical ram habitat. A bit more pace on the right would be nice, as was already commented. Striking image as is.

Ditto what Ken said. Wonderful scene and conditions though, probably slightly over saturated.
