The 2nd, with the spotlight on the face and catchlight is very nice. The first doesn't work for the lack of light. The 3rd doesn't have the same connection as #2. Good work.

#2 is a great portrait. Where did you find these guys?

The second has a great connecting feel to it; the third, as Dave notes, doesn't have the same connection, but it does have good composition to make up for some of its lacks.

Like was said above, I like #2 the best, but you have some blown highlights on the horn that still need some work. The light is even on #1 which could work to your advantage with more shadow/highlight work to make it pop a bit more. #3 might be better with a tighter crop to get rid of the distracting twig on the left part of the ram's body. Looks like a nice day in the mountains for sure!

I really like the light and comp of #3. Very cool.

I really like the second image. I like the spot light.
