Thanks for the comment! Just could not position myself for a cleaner background without losing the nice light and eye contact.

I think MG is so attractive
BG cloning is not for me, neither I am big fan of cloning
I think that OOF object may be another MG

Lovely composition, not sure what to think about the oof white object. At first I thought it was a MG, but not sure. Whatever it is, it doesn't really take away from the beautiful goat and grasses in the foreground.

Love the comp and angle of view Dan. Tack sharp too!

[Morkel Erasmus]

I echo what Dave said. love the detail and sharpness...

Hey Dan, Great details in the whites and super eye contact. Would I prefer that the OOF thing wasn't there??.....of course!....so would you I'd imagine. I feel the overall setting is very strong with both the FG flowers and the mountain slope and you have made the blob sufficiently OOF and subdued that this makes a very, very nice MG image.

Great detail and nice inclusion of the summertime alpine flowers.
