This is my top pick for the challenge. It's more than just a portrait of wild animals; it's about who they are, rather than simply what they look like. That's a dimension that is lamentably missing from so many wildlife portraits: the proper environmental context. This spectacular environment is not just awe-inspiring to look at, it also tells the viewer a lot about the sheep; their life style, their adaption, what their physical skills must be like. Are they Dall sheep from around Denali perhaps? The other possibility is Tibetan Argali sheep but that seems improbable. My money's on Alaska. Really wonderful, absorbing wildlife photography. Thank you. |
