Even more Bighorn
I know there has been a bunch of post already on this topic, but here's some more. I'm not much of a wildlife photographer but I've have just recently got a little more into it. Let me tell you Dan, Ken, and others make it look way to easy. Cause it's not. Here's a few from Sunday as well.

This one is very similar to Dan's and most likely is the same ram as they were coming down right in front of us, and Dan and I were standing right next to each other.

#3's your photo. That's nice! The first one, with the bottom portion of the ram chopped off, could've been great if more were visible. In #2, it's a bit chaotic, but the meat of the photo is that ram on the left. Good behavior in #4, but it's too busy and contrasty for my tastes.

Same commentary as TC, #3 is a uniquely outstanding image that shows behavior, season, and the vertical world of bighorn. Nicely done!

#3 looks great. Really like the unique comp. #1 is very sharp, but I would like to see more of the legs.

Excellent comments Todd. Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks again.

Nice stuff, but #3 really shines.

Yep, 3 is a cut above, but all are pretty good.
