Project 365 #21- February 14, 2011

Big Horn Sheep at Forest Falls, CA.  Went on a drive and amazingly saw this couple on the side of the mountain.  This shot was challenging as they totally blend into the background.  I had to play with the contrast and saturation to make them stand out from the background.  The darker one, the male, was totally watching me, protecting his mate as she walked up the mountain.  I stayed in the vehicle, turned the music off and stayed as quiet as possible to not disturb them but he kept his beautiful eyes on me the whole time!  Good job protecting your lady Mr. Sheep!
