Featured Print:
"While driving on US Highway 34 in the Big Thompson Canyon west of
Loveland, Colorado I noticed several
cars pulled over and people observing a group of head-butting
Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis). The rams
focused on their contests, indifferent to human onlookers, as I
pulled over too, exited my vehicle and stood directly across the
road from these two males. I watched and photographed different
head-butts using a telephoto lens and a fast frame rate for about an
hour. This image portrays a “decisive moment” as a loud, concussive
collision was about to commence." - Josh
