Decided to try some mountains goats after the recent snow. Like it when the goats still have their winter coats. Thanks for looking.

Great shots. I really like #2, does a great job of showing their climate. Any kids up there yet?

That is a magnificent coat! #1 is a superb portrait.

Simply flawless.
I like them both equally, but just love the tightly cropped portrait.

Both are fabulous, Dan. I'm with John on the tighter crop version. I am always amazed at how sharp your wildlife photos are.

I'm wondering how I missed this when you first posted. These are nice, Dan. Both different, both really strong.

That's National Geo quality on #1! Great pose and lighting, did you ask him to look off in the distance to add more drama?
