A great action shot that is perfectly timed. The composition is excellent but the rocks seem a bit bright for a shadowless day. I would at least look at knocking back the highlights in curves.

a great and funny shot Kathy; the one on the right has very small horns in comparison to the other one; it is either a female or rather a much younger one;

Thought they were deer at first in your nice nature photo! Our fine composition captures a nice bit of action as those young ones try out their muscles. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well taken!

Nice capture of this pair of big horn sheep,it's a wonder they don't have headaches. A great image showing also the rugged rocky terrain with it's sparse vegetation,it's interesting to see how their coloring blends so well with that of the landscape. Excellent exposure with nice subtle lighting,nice texture seen in their coats ,nice eye clarity.

This looks more like a game than a fight. Perhaps those are two youngsters probing their strength. You photo is well exposed and focused. It is throughout sharp and has refined detail. The colors are realistic. The sheep are excellently placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Sure enjoy all the wild life, Kathy. Are these younger ones since they have no horns yet? Great shot, timed perfectly, with excellent clarity and detail. Thanks for sharing it.

I like this photograph a lot. It was a very good time to take a picture. I wish you had zoomed up slightly more but you really captured the movement well.

    Oops - sorry this image does not meet your satisfaction. I used the rule of thirds to insure the heads were centered in the frame. I left room on the edge to insure a mirrored canvas wrap, as this image was recently selected to be shown in a local gallery. I'm so grateful to hear and receive criticism on elements that can be controlled and do not sacrifice other needed criteria or consideration. I'm not at all intending this to be defensive; rather educational.

Kathy, this is a great shot! Totally natural and organic! The composition is great! The big horns must be very stubborn animals. Good tones and contrast! I like your new profile pic!

Perfect timing to capture this head butting interaction between the two big horn sheep, they are well placed in the frame and the composition allows a good sense of this location.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is good, their colors and tones are natural. I see good detail in both sheep and especially appreciate the clear eye on both! Well presented!
