Hey E.J.,

This is really well done. Sharp as a tack, and a concentrated pose. The b/g holds interest without taking away from the photo. The composition is great, just enough of the shoulder behind his head to avoid that 'mounted' look. There seems to be an ever so slight hint of a green cast here.

Cheers

Carl

Obviously a little Bighorn- not to be confused with the place Custer made famous. :wink:

Nice details. I like the blue bands in the background. I might have taken a bit more off the right to get the eye off center a bit.

Wonderful light and the shadows provide a great sense of depth. Perfectly exposed and sharp as a tack. Thanks for posting in wildlife.

Where's the cuteness alert EJ???

This is my kind of shot - wonderful dramatic lighting, close up head shot and superb BG stormy sky.

Gorgeous shot!! 8) 8) :shock:

Nice sharp portrait EJ. I like the lighting. It seems I am not the only one who enjoyed photographing the little bighorns at Jasper.

This lamb is too cute! I agree with the others who really like the dramatic light and the look of concentration on such a young face.

Incredible light and subject detail -- an image with very high emotional appeal.
