Well done. I like pictures that are different and force us to think and study it a little bit. Its about shape and color, and maybe what another big horn might see sitting behind this one... thanks for posting this..

Very unique and different image, do you have another like it with the BG in focus as for us to see what the BHSP was seeing. Just thought that might make a neat comparison. Nice as is of course, i like it!!

This guy was sitting next to a cliff as the sun went down to the right. The background was a big old green body of water about a 1/4 mile away. I don't think he was looking at anything. He was just sitting there. I have several profile shots of him that look more tradition with the exact same background.

Tom,

Certainly a different view of a Big Horn. Well done.

Different and well done. I'm not sure about keeping the white area of the butt in the image.

That is certainly sneaking up on the critter. Have never seen this view before and think it looks just fine.
