Wild Goats - Prancing Kid

Caught in mid-air, a young "kid" is hopping, prancing and is told off

by his father. Wild goats in St.Kitts. With nature shots you need

something more than 200 mm telephoto but I have to work with what

I've got. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

This is too cute, I love it. We have a little dog who jumps just like this.

Thanks for the comments and the ratings. Back east here in Quebec, it is quite late so that's it for me this morning.

LOL!

 

Really good timing!

Perfect composition and capture!

Much appreciated.

Playful and cheerful composition. Well done.

Thanks for the comment and rating. They are appreciated.

We used to have goats and they never looked so good !! Beautifully composed image with great colors, lighting, and clarity. Denise

However, indeed.., catching these folks in this way, seen attitudes and especialy their heads, does prove you're an allround shooter Tony! This is animal street in optima forma! Congrats!

Wonderful capture, full of grace and movement. Alfredo

I think it's a fun image ... made me look twice at the baby in mid air. :-) I also think that the background is undistracting and the fact that you shot the goats in a natural context (as opposed to a farm yard) strengthens the shot. I don't believe that every single shot of an animal has to be a close-up zoom ... when I was in Africa on safari I shot the wildlife with my normal or wide angle lenses about 1 time for every 3 or 4 that I used my zoom for....

Thanks for the positive comments and ratings. And thanks for stopping by.

Thanks for stopping by. These wild goats are from St.Kitts and it was particularly dry, steep and rocky at this location - just the way goats like it. I had to take a few before capturing this one in mid-air.
