Mt. Goat, Mt. Evans +repost

Perfect setting for this goat John, love the flowers and rock. I often find it difficult to photograph many ungulates, they are either head to the ground easting, walking away from you, or sleeping.....arrrgh! In this photo I find the light to be rather problematic. The shadow under the goat is very dark and the grass seems too saturated and/or dark. This first thing that struck me however was the lack of sharp focus on the subject. And...(sorry)...I find the subject to be rather centered for my tastes.

Apparently I failed to sharpen some where along the road. Have re-posted a sharper version.

Thanks for the repost John, the sharpening has improved the image a lot. I see you cropped a little as well, I think it has improved the composition, but a little bit tight at the bottom now.

I'm glad that you were able to get a nice full side view. The shedding coat adds something special. I think the repost is an improvement.

The repost looks a lot better John! I like the detail in the fur coat, that combined with the beautiful setting amongst the flowers makes this work despite the harsh lighting.

John,
Nice work on the re-post. The adjusted crop is better as is the sharpness. The ragged coat is great as it shows how much change goats undergo simply to survive each winter.
