Big Horn Ram, Portrait

This big horn ram was photographed on a high ridge in Montana. These animals are quite docile, but should not be approached so closely. While photographing a group of 15 rams from a reasonable distance, this one looked at me and began walking directly toward me. I moved away and the ram continued on its original path, stopping exactly where I had been standing. The ram was about 15 feet away when I captured this image.
