Love in High Places

It's rutting season for Mountain Goats and yesterday I caught this Billy trying to put the move on his Nanny.  She pretty much ignored him and was more interested in catching some sun on the rocks. 

Sony a6500, SE100400GM w/2X @ 800mm, ISO-500, f/11.0, 1/400, hand held.

Nice catch of the action or lack of, as this billy tries to interest the nanny!  For a hand held 800mm image the sharpness is very good.  Also like that you have good detail in the white coats.  Thanks for sharing.

Background setting is busy, but I like the capture of this interaction, especially his tongue and the sense of real eye contact.

Really like the behavior you captured here. You can feel the emotions in the billy. Well done.
