A Tender Moment

Spencer, I've really been enjoying your goat photos from Glacier NP. In this one I love the emotion shown between the mother and the kid. I don't often see wildlife photos showing this much tenderness.

Hi Spencer,

This is a nice intimate scene - almost feel like a bit of a voyeur looking at it! I quite like how the goats appear to be almost hiding (or tucked away) in a small opening in what looks like thick, dark forest and how we're being allowed to have a quick glimpse in. Biggest nit is not being able to see a larger version of this shot!

Cheers...

Brad

PS: You say "Comments requested please." It could be that folks are noticing that you're posting more images than making comments (the NPN recommended image post to comment ratio is 1:5) and some MAY be refraining from commenting for that reason (please note that this is purely speculation on my part). Ultimately the main source of comments on images is NPN members leaving them and for images to have more than one or two comments on them it is necessary that members must leave MORE than one comment per image that they post (the math isn't too hard! ).

I know many newer members are a little hesitant to leave comments, but ultimately the success of all the galleries are determined largely by the comments members leave on the images that are posted. And, I'm sure you'll find that once you get into the regular practice of creating your own critiques that you'll think more about, and improve, your own photography.

If you're unsure or uneasy about commenting/"critiquing" there are several good resources on this website discussing it. Start right here:

This page discusses the critiquing process and provides links to a number of articles on critiquing ("The Art of Image Critique" and "More Thoughts on Photo Critique.").
