Found the Bighorn sheep again today only 50 yards from where they were hanging out yesterday. They were in the shade and it was hard to get a full shot. So I got some head shots. Two sheep, one is young! :D

Thanks Matt, can't go wrong with the Grand Canyon as a backgound. I only shoot with my canon 300mm IS. I need something smaller, and larger depending on what I'm doing. I could have used a 70-200mm on these sheep. Walked right up to them. Friendly animals!:D

Steve - Great images ... There is something to be said for good wildlife portraits. I might even go for a tighter crop and see how they look.

Thanks db...these sheep are so use to people, but if a dog comes down the trail they are up and ready to run.
