Captured this image near Georgetown. Looks like they are becoming a little more active. Thanks for looking.

Great shot Dan. Love that eye contact! Will have to get down there next week.

Wow. That really pops. Love the tight focus on the bighorn and the bokeh for the rest of the image. Perfectly processed.

Exactly what Rich said! Professional caliber work all the way. I just love it.

Yes, also what Rich wrote. I can only assume that those officers weren't there to harrass the photographers like what Kurt had to deal with the other day. Great shot!

Wonderful, Dan! How do you get such sharp shots? When I get beyond 200mm I have a hard time keeping anything sharp.

Top shelf again! :toast:

The tilt of the head expressing attitude, reflection off the eye, and sharp focus make this a definite eye-catcher. The tall oof grass and green background work well. The only minor thing I notice is what appears to be the left leg sticking forward at the bottom edge which stops the sweep of the neck.

I agree: that's a really nice shot.
