Mountain Goat Oreamnos americanus

Shhh! Don't tell anyone I snuck out of the Birds Forum for a quick post. :P

This was taken earlier this year at Mt. Evans. It was rainy and gloomy that day making exposure easy but colors a little gray.

EOS-1V, 600/4 IS, 1.4X EF II, Gitzo, Wimberley, Toyota Tundra pickup bed. ;)
Provia 100, Eval @ -2/3, Av @ f6.3
Cropped to 8X10 format.

Comments and critiques are always welcome. Thanks for looking. :)

Exposure, tone, detail and balance are all executed with excellence. Too bad moderators aren't eligible for IOW :lol:
