This ram was enamored over this one ewe following her everywhere and when she'd stop he'd just lay his head on her butt and not move until she did.
Shot in Custer State Park South Dakota. 300mm, 2.8 @ 1/5000th.

Beautiful eye and horns on this fellow and neat story.

Apart from a good behavioural image, this is an appealing image also to view. Lovely coloration, great sharpness, nice bokeh, catchlight in the eye, very nice. the only thing that would have made this a bit strong IMO would be if it were more evident that the ram was resting his head on the ewe. Now it sort of looks as if the ewe's butt is simply obscuring the ram's lower jaw.

This is very cute. I love the look in his eye. Looks like hope to me.

I think I may have seen that sheep! You did a nice job of choosing the wide aperture to achieve the soft bokeh, eliminating what was probably a plain or distracting background.
