Ooh, these are really marvelous creatures. It's a great view behind him too!

It would be great if there would have been a bit more separation between the head of the goat and the direct background and if the top of the head would not have coincided with the top of the near mountain. Maybe a lower perspective would have helped, but less DOF might also have done the trick.

Despite that, this is an impressive image of a beautiful animal in its environment!

ROFL at the relaxed pose with the leg in the air; like the environment as well. Arthur has mentioned the separation which is also my concern.

The image is great !! the BG mountains and the relaxed look set the scene well.

...to stand beside the Mtn Goat and see that same scene as he does would be priceless. :)
