I was hiking in Zion National Park and came upon these three Desert Bighorn Sheep. I thought this was cool how they were laying down.

Awesome shots. I like the close up one.

I like them both; one for context and the other for the close-up

I thought the shadow on the close up added to the photo. Yes or No?

Yea, I live about 30 miles from the park and go quite often. Once you find them you can hike to where they are and get good shots. It seems like the population of Big Horn is growing, mostly on the west side.
