Captured this mountain goat on Mount Evans this morning. Been pretty busy at work, so it was nice to be able to get out and get some images. Thanks for looking.

Hi Dan,
Looks like their winter coats are filling in. Nice looking animal. I like the eye contact, pose, and lighting on this one. Been up there 3 times this year and have only seen them from way off in the distance.

I like everything. The pose that makes the animal look like and old smart uncle and you also manage to get very much details and sharpness in the white fur.... Usually I have a hard time with backgrounds that is in the same type of blue all the way but here it makes the goat to come out from the picture very good...
This is one stellar looking image. Sharp goat with catchlight, clean blue BG and interesting FG. Rock in the FG balances the goat nicely. Exposure perfectr for the whites and a nice warm look to the light. Well done
Wow! What a wonderful shot! I like everything here: the nice light, the well-done composition, the perfectly exposed white which let us see all the different and subtil tones in the fur, the nice and sharp ground letting us see also a part of the nice environmenet, and the so nice blue sky enhancing so well the goat!
