You did a really good job on PP with these.  You have taken a washed out harsh light situation and added contrast and color to some bad light.  Good job.

Great photos....

Not where I'd want to be hiking in this weather!!

They are looking a little rough this time of year.  :chuckle:

top pic: middle ram
middle pic: ram on right.
bottom: third from right.

All the same ram.....gonna say maybe mid 160-ish, not very long, but he's got some mass throughout.

Sweet!

Based on the mass I'll guess that big ram in the 170" area.

We should all find a hill to kick our butt once in a while.  Lord knows I need it right about now.  Beautiful pictures.  Thanks for climbing up there to take them and share.
