Mountain Goat

I have been away a bunch lately, and have not had many chances for new wildlife postings, but did manage visit Mt. Evans for my first time in early June. I found a couple of groupings of mountain goats and came away with some images just after sunup before the light became total contrast.

This youngster gave me several clicks as he moved amongst the rocks. I included some background mtn peak with snow caps for sense of place, but thought the additional detail and brightness was a distraction, so this is about three quarters of original. Maybe next week when I get back to a computer I will show a full version.

I selectively tweaked contrast and brightness levels a touch to present him at what I thought was his best. D3S, 200-400 @400, f16m, 1/800, -0.3ev, iso 1000
