This is full frame. Its framed a bit odd since there were distracting elements on the right side and other lambs milling about. When either of these two finally looked to the left of the frame, various extra body parts were included. I also chose to include the left portion of the image since it shows the habitat. It'll be nice to hear what others would have done with this image.

You might take a smidge off the right side Tim, but for my eye I think you've got it pretty much right with this composition as presented. You did right to include the scenery on the left, which shows the precarious world they live in, and this is an excellent environment image for these mountain dwellers!

Hey Tim,

This is cool. The habitat makes it work, and as Alfred said, it implies how precarious your perch was. Shows so well why Tim Grams is Lord of the Dall Sheep!

I don't think it matters too much how you crop it.

Cheers

Excellent shot as presented. Of course in this situation I would try other compositions. Some may have worked better for some viewers but this is great.
I am guessing you were not able to get a slightly lower perspective?
