WC #664 - Lookout Post

That's a handsome goat and an excellent capture of it, Ashleigh! Good rule of thirds composition and a perfect exposure. Nice detail in the scene also. I don't know what was beneath the rock that the goat is on but I wonder what a composition with the goat at the top of the frame would look like. I think it would make him look even higher and his gaze would travel in a diagonal line between the upper left and lower right corner.

I really like this image. But I also agree with Gary's suggestion of cropping down from the top and eliminating the sky.

The goat stands out well in this long distance view. Wow, 500mm + 1.4 and the goat is still small! I like the "two tone" look with the scattered snow, the craggy rocks and branches, and the small section of sky. I think this works well as presented, but it would be interesting to compare a vertical (as Gary suggests), or a version with the goat further towards the llc to see how they "feel". (While those may not be possible with this view, they provide food for thought in the future.)

Ashleigh: What a perfect subject and a fantastic environment. Nice work with the long lens.>=))>

Nice image, Ashley. I really like composition and it's very fitting for this challenge.

Hi Ashleigh Very fine work with the big lens. excellent subject, color and detail .. i too wonder how a vertical would look..
