Yellowstone Bighorn
Spotted a half dozen bighorn sheep between Gardiner and Mammoth in the Park a couple of weeks ago. Canon 1D Mk II N, Sigma 100-300 f/4. As always, C&C is welcome and appreciated.

Nicely done - very well composed to show they live in sage (like every other Western animal) part of the year.

Looks real good to me! Excellent pose, and I especially like how he's situated in relation to the sagebrush, as Dave noted.

Steve, I like the details in the coat and the positioning of the eyes and horns. Coming out of the sage tells a story.

Almost looks like it also has a little smile. Great composition.
