Captured this mountain goat on Mount Evans this morning. Thanks for looking.

Nice shot Dan. I like how you got the catch light in the eye and his coat very nice. The last time I was up there, most of them had scragly coats.

Did you take him home with you after you captured him?

Man, that's a beautiful coat on that one! Nice eye contact and a good low angle. Lots to like with this shot.

You get a model release?

Great shot, Dan. I love how sharp this is, and the catch light in the eye really makes this pop.

As noted, great eye contact (catch light!),pose and comp. in general.
Specs would be interesting.

Awesome. It looks like the goat is smiling. Judging by the coat, they must be about ready for the upcoming colder temps. Nice shot!

The warm tone to the early morning light is nice. Great capture.

Dan, I have to say that you inspire me and only a few people do that, so thanks for all your great work.
