You nailed the exposure, lots of details in the snow with just the right amount of shadows. I like the eye and the smile on the face. I think the head angle works for me because the animal is looking down the trail ahead of itself, it is sure footed and it shows up in the image. Reminds me of one of my wolf shots you helped me with sometime back. We have got to meet up for a shoot sometime. Many thanks for sharing Chas!
Nice comp, Chas! Cool looking goat - Like pose you captured, nicely processed, like the subtle texture of snow. Twigs sticking out are nice habitat touch.
