What a magnificent specimen of a mountain goat you have captured there, Stephen. I like the backlit effect, though I wish the front of the goat were a bit brighter. I wonder if a tad more space to the right would make the composition look less centered. Great shot. Well done and TFS. : )

Poor goat, he looks freezing! Great capture, I love the sun shining through the wool.

Hello Estephan: This image captures the attention immediately, not alone for the contrast, the sympathy captured in the goat is an attractiveness in the image, I cannot stop to see its face and that smile that it seems to shine in her as well as the sun shines in its skin. I like the contrast, I enjoy to see texture captured in the snow, single treatment of imagining the cold, I like the captured white color, as well as the contrasts with the skin of the paws of the goat. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania*

Hi Stephan,
This is excellent! I love the back lighting that is creating that halo effect around him. Great job on this very difficut exposure. The colors and detail in this are superb. Composition and raming are flawless.
Really great stuff!

Great capture of this wonderful goat, Stephan.

This is not an easy shot to get right, however, you have done an excellent job of it.

Details, lighting, POV, colors, and BG are superb.

Well done and thank you.

What a fabulous zoo. I am so jealous! It's a great shot. Since you got such good backlighting I would be tempted to emphasize it a little more. I would like just enough of a contrast boost to make the eyes and nose black. I think in wildlife photography "The eyes have it" In some forms of Japanese sumi-e painting they start with the eye!...and then build the animal around it. I did a quick workshop just to see what the effect would be. Thanks for sharing.

À part la tête, il me rappelle me Berger Anglais avec ses grosse pattes.

Très belle lumière qui met en évidence l'epaisseur de sa fourrure. L'exposition est très bien contrôlée.
Excellent travail Stephan.

Stephan,
An excellent, well exposed for backlighting image. Very clean.
Quite a look of interest in who you are and what you are doing by this goat.
Nice shot...
