Dall Sheep Ram in the Rain, Denali National Park

I can't think of anything that saturates the landscape like rain, which, in this case, exaggerated the fall foliage color. Fall foliage arrives during the summer in Denali National Park, but I suppose the meaning supersedes that technicality.

The big ram alone makes a great subject, but the background takes the image to the next level, making it stand out for selection over a vast number of alternative choices.

As often happens these days, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II and RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens made it in the pack, and this combination left no regrets.
