More Mountain Goats
I was also up on Mt Evans Sunday (of course I ran into Dan) and I finally had SUNLIGHT!!! I was a happy camper. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind filtered light at all, but lately, I have had totally overcast skies with hardly any light to speak of, so I was excited to see the sun....then of course the goats stayed in the shadows most of the morning...lol :biggrin:

Little Tyke 2

and Little Tyke 3 (I know, similar shot to Dan's, but I really had already processed it when I saw his)

Another great set, Kurt. And of course, your Little Tyke being nuzzled photo is best of the bunch.

Momma loving baby is a killer, Kurt. All the shots are great, as usual. Glad you got some sunshine. I need to get up to Evans and shoot some goats before the little guys get too big.

Great job Kurt! Like the light and the blue background in the first image. Nice interaction in the last as well.

Looks like a great day. Well done.

Little Tyke 3 is killer- subjects and comp! Maybe a little increase in brightness/contrast? You and Dan are making me wish that Mt Evans was only an hour away.

Great series, Kurt. That last one takes the cake though. Well done.

These are terrific! Closest I'll ever get to seeing these magnificent creatures so up close and personal.

This is a great set..hard to pick a favorite but I'm leaning toward the nuzzling.

Great bunch of images. Super sharp and well composed.

Wow, Kurt, these are all excellent. I think I like Little Tyke 2 the best out of an excellent selection of images. The last one is quite charming, too. Beautiful work!

All nice, but the last is the best. :toast:
