Taken during the rut at Cedar Canyon Wildlife Management Area. I like how they all had their heads turned. Thanks for you comments and critiques.

Nice grouping and sense of place, Richard. The shade area of the tree over the ram seems a bit dark and heavy in the frame, and I am wondering if you opened that up a bit if the whole mood would be brighter. Vertical might have shown of the setting a bit, depending on particulars of location, of course.

You really have a very nice group shot here, kudos for having everyone heads up and engaged with the lens. I agree with what Lon had to say, particularly regarding the exposure. I might have elongated this into a more horizontal presentation though to emphasize the herd.

Nice shot Richard. IMHO it could be just a bit lighter, and I would consider cropping from both top and bottom. I like how nearly all of the sheep are looking at you. Maybe they were admiring your gear!.. Thanks for sharing.
