Rocky Mountain Monarch

from $35.00

It had been a quiet day, with few opportunities for photographs. As we were leaving the park and driving near the slopes in Gardiner, we came upon this impressive bighorn ram. It's always tempting to project our own feelings onto these majestic animals, and as I watched him, I couldn't help but notice his expression. With a large lens pointed in his direction, one could almost imagine a sense of wry amusement in his steady, golden-eyed gaze.

This photograph is a tight portrait, set against the bright white of the snow-covered slopes. The sharp winter sun illuminates every detail, from the deep, textured grooves of his massive, curled horns to the individual hairs of his dense coat. The strong light creates a striking contrast, casting deep shadows that define his powerful form and highlight his calm, composed demeanor.

A signature piece from the "Winter's Sovereigns" chapter of "The Frozen Kingdom" collection, this print is an intimate look at a true icon of the high country, captured in a moment of quiet connection.

Print & Medium

This is a high-impact portrait defined by its sharpness, direct sunlight, and incredible texture. To give this image the "pop" and dimensionality it deserves, my premium paper choice is Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl. This paper has a unique, high-gloss pearlescent finish that will make the sunlit horns and fur almost glow with a three-dimensional quality. It excels at rendering sharp details and deep, rich blacks, which will perfectly handle the strong contrast and make the ram's eye come to life.

"Rocky Mountain Monarch" is offered in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
