I like the comp and overall scene. Your story reminds me of photographing Bighorns in Georgetown, Colorado one early winter. It was extremely cold and the wind was howling! The coldest I have ever been in my life!

Lovely composition with the frosty dusting on the diagonal and the green bg setting the scene off so well!

Hello E J

Nice capture with the frosty grasses, and good separation from the treed background.

Would have thought more snow in snow country?
