Smile

An image taken from a set I shot while doing a sunrise photo shoot at

about 12,000 ft amsl along the eastern slope of Mt. Evans, Colorado.

After doing a landscape shoot, I spotted a herd of mountain goats

working their way up the eastern slope of Mt Evans.

After taking some shots of some "kid" goats, I worked my way up an

area where the heard was moving to. Within 15 minutes, the heard or

approximately 40 was lounging, eating, and doing what mountain goats

do. I began shooting images of the herd and, as always when amongst

these guys, very careful not to startle them. This image was taken as I

was sitting on top of a small boulder imbedded into the

mountainside...looking to the north, the mtn goat came up to me and

gave a curious look and what appeared to be a smile. For this image, I

believe I was using a Nikon D700, Nikkor 24-70. August 2, 2011.

Thanks for looking!
