One more Desert Big Horn
Just one more desert big horn ram image. I wish he had not been behind the rocks and brush, but a clear shot in their normal habitat is awfully hard to come by.

Like it. I think the rocks and brush help give it a sense of place.

Nice capture.

Are the rocks blown? And there's a funny yellow cast on my screen on the abdomen.

Thanks Darren and Larry.

AFAICT the rocks are just OOF, the yellow cast is caused by a OOF bush in the immediate foreground. It also obscures the rock and bush in front of the ram.

Great shot, Larry! The detail is extraordinary, and as Darren mentioned, the rocks and brush add so much to the overall desert "mood". The blurred portion does not hurt this at all, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot Larry. Handsome creature.

Thanks Bill and John,
We were very pleased to be able to finally find some big horns during our trip.
