you lookin at me?
I just returned from a road trip to Glacier, Wateron Lakes, Banff & Jasper where there were record low temps. I think the ice and snow on this bighorn sheep represents this quite well :) All in all amazing trip though. You can't beat the Canadian Rockies for breathtaking landscape. Will slowly be adding shots to my stream. Thanks for stopping by! Explored FP & highest position 2 :)

Yup, your new friend here definitely has that look in his eye. You would too if you had ice hanging on the side of you. He’s just living the hard angry life.

Great capture! You really got his attention here and a perfect use of DoF. Wellcome back home and looking forward to see some of your breathtaking views from Canada!

Well look at that! Everyone likes it! Pretty impressive that you were able to drag this all the way from the taxidermists to Banff. Rubbing snow on it was a nice touch and adds to the realism.

SF knitter (44 months ago | reply)
Wonderful capture. Maybe he was hoping you'd help get that ice off his neck. That could not have been comfortable...but what can I say? I don't have a furry coat like these guys.

In design school Bighorn Sheep was my paper sculpture project. I remember it well. You've captured a great shot of it and brought back memories of me researching the animal for my project. Beautiful capture.
