Cindy -
All are good, and #1 is a great portrait -
BUT, it could be staged or it could be a captive animal, and it does not represent what even a stealthy hunter will likely ever see. #2, to me, represents taking a certain period of time, and a lot of skill, in stalking an elusive subject in its own environment, and finally getting the shot - in this case - with a shutter.
Perfect for a sporting goods store's contest.

Thanks Tony, I can see where you would think it's staged but it's not. The rams are located on an island in the middle of flathead lake and are not very scared of you. So you can get pretty close! It's awesome!! I attached a couple more that were taken that day that are not really edited. I have been to the island numerous times to watch these big guys!

#1 or #6.
All very well done but those 2 are my favorites.
Since its a sporting goods contest I'd go #1

For me it would be Glacier peaks park in a runaway landslide, but since it’s for a sporting goods store, full curl owns it!
Beautifull set any way you wanna call it.

I like 1. For a portrait, I feel like less shoulder would be better. There is a slight yellow cast to the image on my monitor.

The “smack you in the face” photo is the first one; the artistic photo is the second one. If you know what they are looking for . . . .
