Cool image. The bare sloping rock and scattered scraggly vegetation really convey a sense of place. Perhaps better if the head was not bisected by the skyline, but this works as is.

Wow, he looks like he posed so well for you. What a big, healthy set of horns (?) on that guy. Nice to see him in the context of his environment.

This is a fine image, Sandy. Comp and especially the timing with the pose both excellent, and well exposed considering the bright sunny conditions. Looks as though he is accustomed to being photographed. Nicely done!
