Peek-a-boo

Gallery: WildlifePosted February 25, 20153,417 views5 comments

I have been having a lot of fun with the Big Horns in Cedar Canyon. I got into a heard of 34 yesterday. The sheep here are not hunted and so with so care you can get close to them fairly easily. The really big rams here are off in the more inaccessible parts of the hills. This guy is not big enough to challenge for breading rights yet, but he is not to far from challenge the big guys. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Another nice one IMHO! Right on exposure, good detail. I like the position you caught this guy in. Thanks for sharing.

I like the peek-a-boo aspect of this. I think you could take a little canvass from the right side. Well done.

I like it Richard, it looks like it's both kind of hiding behind the bush and smiling at you at the same time, well captured in terms of detail and exposure.

Exposure looks right on. I like the hint of warmth in the light and the detail in his eyes.
