Captured these goats on Mount Evans this morning. I then released them after the photo shoot!

Canon 1D Mark2
Sigma 500mm lens

And this little guy as well.

Excellent!
The top goat is quite majestic, and the mountain peak in the background complements him well.
The cute factor on the second is undeniable. Love seeing catch lights in both eyes.
The flowered surroundings are cherry on the cake!

Very nicely done, Dan.

Dan, i always look forward to your posts and this one delivers for sure! Those guys look very content up there, guess you treated them well in 'captivity'

Wonderfully captured, love the low angle and the similarity to a "before and after" scenario.

Wow - great photos Dan! The first pic is one of the best goat shots I've seen in a while - you captured the coat perfectly and the low angle is just excellent.

Great images, I'm surprised at how clean the adults coat is. Really like the surrounding the kid is laying in.

These are both great shots!! Love the little smirk that they each have.

They are both awesome! The yellow flowers really add to them. That kid is so cute.
