Jerry, I want a little more goat, to be honest... but I must say that the landscape is pretty darned awesome.  I just love those layers in the background.

A nice goat scape!  We were there on the 14th.  Found the goats as they were moving up, then at the summit and as they started moving on down the other side.  Mostly nannies and kids.  On the way back down we stopped as a nanny and 2 kids were right on the road.  The kids moved to the passenger side of my car and starting rubbing on the front fender!!

Jerry: a very well composed photo which really captures the goat's environment. I think applying some Dehaze to the mountain layers would give those layers a bit more definition. Richard

Jerry,
This works well as an environmental image, largely because of the inclusion of the mountains.devil

Neat view.  I don't think the mtn goat is too small in the frame, especially if you trim some of the rock on the right edge.  Worth a look?

Jerry, the overall composition of this is really nice. I love the layers and layers going into the distance. What a view from the top of the world.
