(Dall Sheep) Denali National Park, Alaska

They're not very large in the frame but this is as close as I came to Dall Sheep on my last trip to Alaska. However, it does show off the environment nicely.

Hand held Nikon D2H, 200-400 AFS VR, 400 mm, ISO 200, Aperture Priority, 1/1500 @ F4, EV -0.3. Cropped about 20%.

hey tony! (lol, your username confused me... i thought your name was anthony for the longest time ;) )

i like this shot!
it looks like the sheep at the top are wondering why the sheep at the bottom is way down there..lol
kinda like a "hey, watcha doin down there"
mainly because of how both sheep up top are looking down at the other sheep

anyway, great scale! and nice environment shot

Wow this is cool!
While everyone loves a good full frame closeup, this image really shows their environment, and their amazing mountaneering ability.
