I saw a 3 or 4 sheep by the road as I drove past. But could not stop, because it was an avalanche area. So I parked outside the area and hiked back. I'm glad I did, because there were two dozen more sheep that I could not see from the car. I was along the road's shoulder when I took this.

Nice spacing between the sheep as they ascend the ridge Jerry, and all on the diagonal path. A very strong and well done image!

Really nice composition with the animals well spaced and heads/eyes visible on them all. Shows well the excellent footing these guys have in such a steep terrain. This looks even better viewed against the dark background. I might try just a slight reduction in highlights and/or some structure/clarity or other detail enhancer to bring out more detail in the rock, to pick a nit- but it could also just be some compression loss giving that impression.
