Majestic

Majestic: This magnificent animal, indigenous to northern Alberta, Canada, is a Dall Sheep. I imagined it leaping to the next ledge. It was a challenge to capture the ram’s power and majesty. The startling contrast of the chamois horns, silver-white body coat and black muzzle, eyes, and hoofs, are so uniquely Dall. The larger indentations in its trophy sized horn curls count out the number of years it has survived in the wilderness. Majestic is at his prime―in his eighth year on the mountain.
