 Only got a few shots of a few of the Bighorns as they headed up towards the top of the mountain just before sunset. If you are lucky they will sometimes start ramming each other near the road at the base of the mountain which makes for some great interaction shots.

So beautiful! One can see how his nostrils are moving, sensing your presence, ready to run any second through this sunlit grass.

Handsome, beautifully photographed bighorn. The detail of his head, horns and coat is impressive. The composition, however, is rather static.

Really like the depth in this with the OOF foreground/background. Very nice detail too.

wondeful wildlife image.

part of me wishes this was in color to get a greater sense of the nature, but i can understand why you chose b/w to get at the textures.

Incredible light - a beautiful presentation of this magnificent beast. I'm pleased to see this in B&W - emphasizes that gorgeous light.
