Fluidr / Ram In The Badlands by tomblandford

I've been posting a few landscapes and now I'm posting this "hybrid" wildlife/landscape as a transition back to wildlife. I came close to deleting this shot. The original was way too bright, and the ram was pretty far away. But, after some aggressive processing, I decided to keep it and post it because it shows how well the ram's colors blend with the grasses and eroded formations of Badlands National Park.
