These turned out nice Dan. I especially like the look in the second image.

Dan, as usual you have nailed the comp. The out of focus bokah seems a little nervous to me on both images.

Really like the first one Dan.

I am a big fan of the first image. I love how wild their eyes look and you captured that perfectly!

While both are excellent (as usual), the first is really outstanding.
What a pensive pose you captured!

Looks like its that time of the year again . Whow does time pass quickly. Nice crisp images.

Both have great poses, and the second with the sneaky neck and head twist is nice. Preference goes to the first image though. I like the stems of grass in the mouth of the ram and the composition of the first image. The large gray rock in the upper center of the background with the whiter spots next to it attracts my eyes a little. I would be inclined to crop right below it.

Nice opportunity to get so close to the bighorns.
