Default Zion Park-Big Horn Sheep

I captured this Rocky Mountian Big Horn Sheep in Zion National Park. I thought the lighting was good and the pose was good. I took the picture with a 400 mm lens and tried to use the rule of thirds with the sheep in the upper third of the frame. My question is if I framed the subject correctly and what else I could do to improve the pic?


Camera: Nikon D90
Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/1250)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 330 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: No Flash

Thanks, the right light makes all the difference I think. I took this other shot and thought the softness in the background looked O.K. I don't really like the way I framed the subject in this shot. Any thoughts here?
