This very mellow goat and I became well acquainted in Jasper a few weeks ago.

Canon Elan 7, 100-400 IS, Provia, full frame. Thanks for your suggestions!

Good motif contribution Kelly.. I have a tough time with cropping inside of the head region and making it work.. THe exposure is right on and I am jealous you were able to get near this guy, should have gone up to the ice fields I guess..Thanks for posting..

I like this as an intimate moment image for sure.

Although at first it seems to be tight I was drawn down from the horns to the eyes. It kinda suggests a sad mood to me....almost like there should be a tear drop falling from the eye..... :wink:

Very nice Kelly! Darn good for a borrowed camera.

Great exposure and super clean whites- I'm jealous. :evil: :wink:

I'd be tempted to crop even more from the bottom...

Very nice Kelly. I love tight portraits that show the essence / beauty of the animal. You've done that to very good effect here. Technicals on the money too. Congrats.

What Dave said!!

Plus it looks like someone has polished the horns!

Wonderful detail!

I love how the lines of the horns and neck lead to the eye. Nice, intimate shot!!

I really like the unique composition here. I might like just a smidgen more room on the right hand side but this is wonderful as is.
