In my world mountain goat shots are usually from a very long distance, so when I saw this I was delighted to see that you were able to get so close. I like everything about it. Needs to be viewed at largest. Even the goat’s coat is clean. Tiniest nit: small branch in URC. Great image.

Gary, Mtn Goats always seem to be “way up high”. This captures the upward view very well, with the white goat standing out nicely against the rugged grey rocks.
