Camera Shyby *WindInTheCoffeeCup

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

I just love, love, love taking photos of wildlife. It makes me so happy!

Anyway, this is a male Bighorn Sheep in Estes Park, Colorado.
He would never look up so I thought he might be camera shy.

Critiques are awesome because they help me learn!

Nice shot, I really like the angle!

The sheep's pose is great, and lighting is great as well.

This shot is great, but maybe you could consider a second shot (if you get another opportunity) from another angle? Perhaps you could stand farther to the right (your right) so that the sheep's head is closest to the camera.

Awesome capture!
By the way...how big are those things?

Thank you so much! I will try to get other shot on the 20th, when we go back to Estes. It's almost their rut so they are out and about quite a bit.
In the Rocky Mountains the males are around 500 pounds and are 50 inches tall at the shoulder. The females are 200 pounds and 40 inches tall at the shoulder. Males' horns can weigh up to 30 pounds.
