This image of bighorn sheep was taken at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs in March. A snowstorm had just rolled in and it was incredibly windy, but it made for some great photos. I was only in Colorado Springs for one morning so I got really lucky with this bighorn sheep encounter. These sheep seemed used to people around so I was able to get somewhat close. Camera settings: 400mm (800mm ff equivalent), f/6.3, 1/400, ISO 500. Shot on an OM System OM-1 and 100-400mm f/5-6.3 lens.

I like how you left space on the right in the direction the sheep were looking.

Thanks! I felt it fit the mood with the snow blowing from that direction
