My new friends John [m'n vrind] and Jean Jacques [mon ami]
recommended that this shot - which I posted on TrekEarth -
was more TN than TE...

Voila here is my ovis canadensis canadensis.

This ram and I stared each other down close to the junction of highways 93 and 95 near Radium , BC

Shot was taken abt 4pm , on a very nice day towards the end of April 2006. We're looking Westward.

To me Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep spell the Rockies in Alberta/BC... Here is art imitating life!

Well, shucks! What I wouldn't give to get that close to a bighorn!! It is a super shot. Welcom to TN Jay. I'm looking forward to more of your photos.

Welcome, Jay. Wow. I thought I had a close up of one of these. But this is a macro of his nose! Stellar. Great thought on the bg and DoF, too.

Hello Jay,
This is a very impressive shot. I wonder at what distance you were and what kind of zoom you are using... This is soooo close! Great details, POV and DOF that let us see a very nice environment. Welcome to TN,
Claudine

A Great portret , a lovely beest , good sharp eye contact pov bg i like it , Greetings Teunie .

A good portrait although it might have been better not to have the overcast sky as background as that is overexposed which is nothing you can do about unless you use a filter. If he had a dark background setting with the f number you used it would have been fantastic portrait.
Great shot though and I hope he did not decide to head butt your car

Simon

Excellence Photo, Jay.
