A young bighorn sheep gazes out across his range in Badlands NP just before heading down off of the cliff. The bighorns I encountered in Badlands seemed fairly acclimated to people, even pretty close. On the other hand I only saw bison off in the far distance.

f/9, ISO-400, 1/200 sec, 163mm.

I really like the warm lighting and the badlands background.

Dave, I love the angle here. Certainly a different perspective, and the glowing grass and slight rim lighting work nicely against that backdrop.
