Greetings from the Critique Club

Wow. Fantastic capture, and a little shoe polish will take care of that other problem. :-))

Composition is just superb; the animal is in the best possible place. Since this was expert editing, I think it might have been helpful to have boosted that sky a bit as it seems a bit palid compared with the saturated colors in the foreground. Speaking of foreground, it would also be interesting to see this very fine image with more lights and darks in the foreground. (IMO) For example, some of the rock detail gets lost in this edit.

But all in all, a splendid image, and one you can be proud of.

I see you are a newcomer to DPC. Welcome aboard, and I for one will look forward to seeing more of your images.

Ok, I would never get a shot because my hands would be shaking too much - I hope you had a really long lens and you weren't *that* close. :) I like how you framed your subject in the shot, but the image might benefit from a bit of an overall saturation boost and maybe a bit more contrast, especially to bring out the browns more in the bighorn.

Good composition but the photo looks a little washed out, lacking some needed contrast/brightness tweaks. Otherwise it's really nicely taken.

The color seems flat. The frame steals from the image.
