Great long-lens shot. I might reduce the purples a bit throughout the whole image, but especially the background.

Great setting for the bighorn, Randy, and I like the shaggy look.  I do seem to see the color cast already mentioned, but I'm looking at it on a tablet, so I can't be sure.

Hey Randy,
Very impressive the way this image has the feel of an intimate portrait and yet you can still sense the vastness of the environment. The color in the large version is much better than the smaller on my monitor with much less of the purple cast. The center comp feels inappropriate to me some how for this composition, if it were mine, I would try a square format with all the additional canvas (if you have it) added to the left side in front of the subject to give him more room to look into.

This image has a great "sense of place"!
