Greetings from the Critique Club. Thank you for submitting your photo to the Circle challenge.
A good capture of an wild animal. He even appears to be thinking as he feeds on the grass. The colors are very attractive for the image taken.
As a wild life capture it looks good. However, some viewers might have a hard time with the "circle" objective of the challenge. The circle for some members might have to be more obvious. A minimal compliance sometimes urks the voting curve.
Technically, your shot can be appreciated. It shows the subject feeding and enjoying the outdoor life. I am not sure why you chose to crop the image down. A lot of the appeal of this animal is the entire head area. The Ram is a strong and rugged looking animal. Perhaps showing the full view, would be better. I can assume that would have put less emphasis on your circle idea. Animals are always a challenge. You have captured at least one eye. A different angle might have brought both eyes in and created more appeal for you.
Great "bokeh" effect with your lens. Which I assume was not too close.
Sounds like the Glacier National Park could be a photographers dream in capturing plants, flowers and animals. But again the "circle" notion had to be more prominant.
Good luck in your next DPChallenge. Zagman |

| For this contest everyone who has the word âcircleâ in their title is getting a max 10 score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I upgrade to 10 due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge need to be reminded of the topic of the challenge â we really need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will give a 10. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of voting â but scores are all I have. |

| nice picture but the subject is a little underexposed while everything is a little overexposed. Maybe cropping a little off the left would help composition. |

| For this contest everyone who has the word âcircleâ in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge â we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest â but scores are all I have. Having said all of this this is a good title and a great photo. 8 |

| I am bumping this one up. I feel that it may be stretching the boundaries of the challenge description, but it is still a fairly clean image, regardless. The one thing that I feel would make it better is if the Ram (?) didn't have all that grass hanging out of his mouth. |

| Stunningly beautiful photo (and a very unique one too)! I think that if you had shown more of the ram's horns, it would have helped the "circle" theme, but still a nice shot! |

"Take a photograph where this basic shape is clearly shown as a key element."

| pretty harsh lighting. overall a good composition, but i wouldn't say a circle is the prominent focus here without the title. |

interesting idea, good bokeh. Even though I don't like this one very much, I will remember it, so it makes some impression on me.
Was it possible to get a full head-on shot of this? Might be a more interesting angle, or at 45° straight to the eye.
Good luck. 8 because it stuck in my mind. |
