Fantastic the first time around but now the impact has diminished, still a great image from a slightly different angle.

He looks like some sort of mythical plant/animal creature. I really like the composition here. Seems to be at the top of his game, yet ready to drop at the same time.

Comment by K3Master:
He stood there, above all else, at the end of a long and eventful journey. Not a journey of miles or physical paths, but one of life and years. He surveyed all about him and knew it to be good and strong.

As the wind caught his tattered coat, he remembered all that had passed in his grand and glorious time, and while he knew that soon it would end, for now he could stand here, king of this land, and rejoice.

He was proud, and strong still, and his experience and majesty would continue far beyond himself, and he was glad.

It took every ounce of his remaining strength, but he was on top once more. Oh, he realised that it was only metaphorically, that he had ceded his dominance to a younger, more vigourous ram long ago, but standing here now, surveying the crags and valleys where he'd watched over his harem for so many years he felt a surge of pride and satisfaction. It had been a hard life and he had the scars to prove it but he'd risen to the challenge. He was ready to go now; he'd gained the peak one last time and could now take the rest he'd earned.
