Exceptional! Besides being perfect as far as exposure and stuff, it's the look they have on their faces that makes this - even though I don't know that goats have "looks" - they sure seem to here. The young one, tentative; the older one quite surefooted and confident. Really excellent.
Well, crap. Now this is the second image I have seen that could be MAK's. Even though these guys are the same subject in a similar place as MAK's ribbon winner, I'm gonna guess the other one's his and this isn't. The sky doesn't seem right, and the other one is super MAK style. Oh yeah, very nice pic regardless! (it's just fun to guess)
incredible portrait. If I find out these guys are stuffed I'm going to petition to get all my points back. This is perfection. It needs to be on the cover of the best nature magazine right now. 10.
The PoV beautifully captures how these Goats like to live and there is a wonderful natural contrast in attitudes between the Mother who is firm footed and staring at someting out of shot, and her kid who is looking a little apprehensive and apparently needing all his concentration to stay where he is :- )
wow ... great capture ... nice job with the b/w conversion .. too bad you didn't get a lot of interesting clouds behind them, but still an awesome shot ...
MAK, I'm pretty sure this is yours (if I remember correctly you had a similar photo earlier). Anyway, doesn't matter, it's absolutely beautiful. One of my few 10's of the challenge.
