Grabbed this shot while sharing a few jokes with this goat during a recent hike. 7d, 400DO + 1.4xTCII, f6.3, 1/2500s, ISO 200, +1/3 EC, HH, cropped a little left and top.

Steve, I like the BG & the expression on the goat. Good exposure & sharpness. Ideally, I would like to see they eyes open.

Like the expression and great details in the whites? Is this recent?

[Brendan Dozier]

Great expression captured, Steve, and perfect title! Like the fur texture, open mouth, nice contrast to habitat BG colors, and good job on whites. Looks like this character has some great jokes & stories to share. :bg3:

A fun and beautiful shot Steve and the explanation was pretty funny! I about fell off my chair when I saw that you used ISO 200, even in bright light. I didn't know your camera went that low......ha!

Lovely expression and great detail in the whites Steve, I like the texture you have manged in the fur.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Very nice sharp detail and good exp...Looks like fun photographing these guys!

[Ken Watkins]

Great expression on this one, given the closed eyes was it a long joke:bg3:

[Steve Kaluski]

Good control of the whites here Steve, and I really like the sheen on the horns. Might have liked a tad more to the left? :S3:

Will we get to hear the joke, it wasn't the one, two goats walk into a bar... was it?

Steve - nicely handled exp. I like the vertical comp but agree might be better to have a bit more to the left. Nice detail and I like the bit of hoof showing.

TFS,

Love the expression here Steve, priceless :bg3:
A bit more to the LHS would have been nice as noted.

[Steve Canuel]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions folks. I've got the extra room on the left so I'll take a look at wider options.
