Took a ride up Radical Hill in Summit County to see if the goats were done shedding their old coats and getting ready for that first snowfall which is just around the corner. They were outfitted in their new white coats and very cooperative on this particular day.

Cool shots, Bob, my fav is #3! Stoopid question: where do the goats hang out in winter?? I dont think ive ever seen a mtn goat shot taken in snowfall.

Nice portraits. It's good to see 'em with full coats, too. Nice out of focus backgrounds, too.
All three of these are underexposed, though (see your histogram in PS).
'Losing' the light streak on the hill above the goat's rear in #1 would be an asset, IMO.

Stan- I have no idea where they hang out in winter. Maybe Don Grall would know.
John- You are right on the exposure- a bit under- will repost with cor.

You caught some excellent poses and his coat looks like he's ready for winter. Cool shots!

Great shots Bob. Radical Hill and Red Cone are always great trails to go up.

The goats sure look more "finished" after they have shed their previous coats. I like #1 best. Would like to see a little more rock base though.

Nice images! Like the look he is giving you in the last image.
