Background Billie

I saw this goat on the other side of the river, up high on the canyon walls in Keystone Canyon near Valdez, Alaska.  There was no possible way to get a clear view of it but I wanted to capture it anyway just to show people I saw one there because they haven't been there for many years.  I'm not geared for close up animal photography as I have a $600, APS-C size, mirrorless Sony a6000 with a $350 55-210mm 4.5-6.3 lens. The goat was so far away I turned on Sony's 2X "Clear Image" digital zoom so that I would at least be able to recognize that it was a goat and took the shot, hand held.  Then, when I got it on the computer I did a 35% crop for composition.  Despite breaking all the wildlife rules (digital zoom, branches all over the goat, doesn't fill the frame, too narrow aperture, right side blurry because it was much closer on that side, can't see the eyeballs, etc, etc.) I was pleasantly surprised that it actually looked kind of interesting and had much better quality/detail than I ever imagined it would have.  Obviously I'm not posting it for critique but I thought I'd like to share it just for fun.  

The large version is clearly a viewing necessity with this one.
