These Glacier rams really wanted to get to the parking area for some reason. The ram on the left appeared to be the director butting the others where he wanted.

It's difficult to capture a moving herd of "anything" and you did a very good job, even catching some flying snow. Would prefer if the trees extended down a bit lower in the frame, but not much you could have done. Nice job on the exposure, snow is tricky!!! When I see sheep heading to parking lots they are often planning to lick salt off the vehicles, they sometimes get underneath and pull wires too - not good. :mad:

Really nice job with the exposure. The flying snow really adds to the image.

That flying snow really adds drama to this shot Brad. Great detail and perfect DOF too. A pity though about the one in the BG with its horns protruding.

Agree with others about the exposure being spot on. I like the flying snow, wish the 4th set of horns were either not visible, or wish we could see the head of that animal. But getting all that set perfect in a herd is asking for an awful lot.
