Dall Sheep, Denali National Park, Alaska.
I tried to get these guys over numerous days but was never able to get the right combination of light and fall foliage until almost my last day. On my second to last evening I found this ram in one of the most colorful parts of Denali right at sunset – I was thrilled!

Great shot Ron. Amazing color this time of year in Denali. Even better with the Dall Sheep.
Beautiful light and color in this Ron (and the sheep just makes it classic).
Ron, I watched the light playing over the Alaska range from my house while you were in the park and it looked like there was a lot of interesting skies. I love the clouds and light in this scene.
Amazing Ron. A true classic as Russ says.
Nice color Ron. Polychrome Hills is always a beautiful backdrop for a wildlife shot. Amazing that the Dall sheep came down that low from their usual higher hill positions. Surprised the wolves didn’t get this one.

Thanks a lot everyone!
@ Wayne I agree, seemed like it was very vulnerable in such a location. I love Polychrome Pass!
@ Patrick There sure was a lot of great light on this trip! That was the best treat.
Thanks again for the comments!
Looks like he was posing for you in just the right place. Beautiful.

Thanks Vera – it really was a nice pose!
It is a really, really nice shot Ron. This one reminds me of Michio Hoshino’s work. I am an admirer of his work and ideas. I thank you for sharing this with us.
You should be proud! Well worth the wait.
Hey Ron,
You killed it here, bud; this smokes. One of the greatest images I’ve seen from the park. This is amazing.
Cheers
