Bighorn Crossing

D800 200-400mm @280mm F8 1/750 ISO 800
Taken just off the north entrance road into Yellowstone NP
Could not have had any worse exposure elements, directly into the sun with a backlit subject at high noon resulting in blown out highlights on the water, but there was no other possible angle from which to capture the action, so it is what it is. Extensive post processing curves adjustments were necessary. This was action I most likely will never see again so I have to make the best of what I was able to get. I did get many more images of this small band of 6 rams all of whom jumped the creek at this point.

A perfect example of take the image even if the light is less than wonderful.
