Comfort Zone

Gallery: WildlifePosted November 18, 2017207 views2 comments
Sony A77II
Sony 70-400G @ 400mm
ISO 200, 1/500 @ f5.6
North Marble Island, Glacier Bay NP, Alaska
Making one of my rare forays into this gallery and I suppose this is more of a fauna-scape than a straight wildlife shot but I thought this conveyed the environment these goats thrive in. Took it from a boat passing by the island on our way out of the bay. Please view large. All comments welcome. >=))>

This is about the way Mountain Goats are viewed in Yellowstone, Bill, as small bits of white on a large field of steep rocks.  The goat stands out nicely, especially in the larger view.

Beautiful example of the rugged terrain they call home!  My only wish would be to have it be at least some closer to see some body detail of horns, eyes, etc.  Images like this are very effective as part of a story telling narrative.
