Found this gentle animal atop the hill by the Lost Horse Mine. I wish I had my bigger lens with me, both for a better close up and my own safety.

I think a strong skylight filter or some boost in contrast/saturation would have helped this photo a lot.

Wow, must have been a thrill to run across this guy!! Good composition and plenty of interest in the background. My only wish would be for more even lighting on the sheep so that we could see more detail there.

great shot, the angle of the foreground really implies how steep the ground is.
