Another Shot at a mountain goat

I think you are good with goats ;-)

great goat ..... wonderful Wildlife!

Ah Fred....... cut the jokes, my wildlife shots are really nothing compared with the graphical quality of yours. But I'm aspiring to get there...

 

Thanks for the nice comments, it's always a pleasure!

On popular request (I wish!), here is another mountain goat pic.

Superb!

Great composition!

Really beautiful. Next to perfect!

I love the muted tones and textures. Very dramatic; great composition.

Fantastic!

Really nice! How do you get a goat to stand like that?

Incredible image! Nice composition and light!

Unfortunately, to be honest, I find tha the chamois is too dark, I can't make out his muzzle very well. (try with a flash next time?)
Otherwise a great capture, excellent composition and powerful clouds!

I agree, great composition. I love that the goat seems unsteady and youthful, it's a good hook. It looks like he is a having a conversation with you - but you were far awat yes? Is it just my screen or does the focus seem a little soft

No, I was not far away at all. Maybe 10 meters. I only have a 115 mm zoom, so to fill in this much of the picture I had to be pretty close.

 

Yes, a conversation there was as he was all curious at what I was doing (and at the same time quite scared).

 

Oh, and flash was out of question. 10 meters away? And I'd scare the poor thing...

Nice perspective, great shot!

wonderful

that image leaves my breathless! Great work!

great capture

marvelous shot
