Captured this bighorn in Georgetown this morning. Not happy with the light, just like that little sneer. Thanks for looking.

I agree with you about the light, but I love the look. Maybe a B&W conversion?

Thanks for the idea Paul. Here is the BW one....

A nice shot in B&W

Both are pure Fauna Art! That sneer reminds me of Bruce Willis for some reason.

Incredible work as usual, Dan.

Love the expression!

Nice pose! Were you close enough for a flash with extender?

His right eye looks cattywompus, like maybe his eye socket was broken at one time and is lower than the left.

Excellent portrait and expression!
I think you did a good job handling that light myself. It certainly doesn't bother me.
I prefer the color version.

Beautifully captured - liked the expression on the Bighorn's face.
