Great comp. I really like the diagonal formed by the rocks and the wide open BG that really gives a sense of 'place' for the sheep. very cool shot.

Terrific composition! Gives a real sense of their environment and they look pretty comfortable there. Nicely done.

The composition is wonderful. I love how the little one is looking toward the camera.

Excellent in every way!!!

I love it! I know I wouldn't be quite this relaxed in this location. It looks like you had a precarious climb to get to their habitat. Was this in Denali or near Anchorage?

Thanks for the comments!

Kelly- this is in Denali in late Aug, although it could be any sheep habitat.

Their resting spot in not as hazardous as it looks, at least by sheep standards. I'll have to post a more complete view with my next image.

Excellent photo, Tim. Excellent composition and the poses of the two sheep are great for this framing. Very well done.

Nicely framed - and getting the mother to pose while the kid looks at you is very nice.
