Another image from the Big Horns I saw last Thursday at Cedar Canyon. I really enjoy being around the Bighorns. It is a little reminder of what the wildlife in this area was like at one time. Thanks for the comments and critiques.

Nice setting Richard, I think I prefer this image to the previous one you posted. I like seeing the little groups and associations in photos of sheep as they are very social animals. Bighorn sheep have been exported from the foothills of Alberta near where I live to various states to reintroduce them to areas they previously inhabited or to enhance existing numbers and genetic diversity. The sheep in our area are very healthy apparently and free of disease making them prime candidates for export. They exported some pregnant ewes to Nebraska last year I believe, wonder if these are Canadian sheep?

Richard, the rather centred composition works here due to the framing by the green pine trees on both sides. Your main subject has a nice attentive pose as does the small one on it side. The hidden muzzle of the second adult is a bit unfortunate though IMO.
