Hi Everyone! This is another of my favourite bighorn pictures from Waterton this spring. My dad and I found a group of five rams and while my dad was busy trying to get a picture of the biggest ram I noticed these three all posing in different directions and thought it would make a good picture.
I hope you like it, too! (My dad says to check out the larger version for more detail)

4 commentsYou took on a big challenge here - dealing with multiple subjects is one of the toughest things a wildlife photographer can do. You nailed the exposure and your aperture (and DoF) does make the main subject stand out nicely. If your original capture has more room on the left I'd bring that back, functionally shifting the subject to the right a little...
For me the big question on this shot is whether the two additional rams add to the story of the shot or distract from the main subject. I'm thinking that viewers will be split on this...but the most important thing is whether or not YOU like the shot! And, given it's one of your favourites, I think that answer is pretty clear!
Keep up the shooting!
Cheers...
Brad
