Bighorn sheep ram on a hill in the Badlands National Park of South Dakota. They were grazing on a shelf on the cliff and would look over the edge every once in a while.

I love this one Jerry, great perspective with the fg diagonal cliff edge leading us in to that regal pose. A handsome ram portrayed in such superb detail and all in wonderful complimentary colour tones. What more could you ask!

A well composed portrait of this rugged ram. The image reveals good detail, warm complimentary tones, and a stately pose with grazing sprigs in mouth. The fact that the foreground rock formation is sharp really adds to the image in my view.

Wow, Jerry. I love the way this image is composed and the way the sheep is peering down at you! The grass in his mouth is a little bonus! Congrats too on EP!
