This was cropped to vertical. This is the first shot I took of the bighorn when I first saw it. He was very cooperative to pose for me. Gave me a chance to shot a dozen images before he decided to leave. Thanks again for your comments and critiques.

Sigma 100-400
Aperture Priority
Shutter 1/2000

This is one of my favorite Bighorn images posted in a while. The detail is great and that look he is giving you is priceless. GREAT portrait.

Hi Richard,

I really like the simplicity of this - who would have thought that such a flat-grey background could work this well! The simplicity, coupled with a great look, nice composition, and solid techs combine to make this a very appealing shot. Nicely done.

Cheers...

Brad

Lovely portrait here Richard, the background creates a simple, yet effective & powerful image, like the eye contact with the viewer.
