I thought that goat looked familiar. Now you will have two shots of the same scene in the Top Ten list for that lens. //www.dpchallenge.com/lens.php?LENS_ID=1419
Very nice shots. The light was great on him and your BW conversion excellent.

Seems like you used an extra light on the right to lit your subject, but your subject should be the light source.

I'm so happy you had another photo of this amazing scene for this challenge. It is one of my favorite photos of all time. When I was in Colorado last weekend, I photographed a big horn sheep standing on a rockon a hillside and I thought of your photo -- of course, it sure made mine fall short! It is "the bar" by which any other sheep photo will forever be measured :) Great score and finish in this challenge. Wish it could have won another ribbon for you!

I like this very much, although you might have cloned out the little beige and white at the bottom right of the orb - my eye went right to it and it distracts from the overall impact of the image - to me that is.

Nice concept.

Yes this was with the Fujifilm S5 Pro and the Nikon 70-300VR but they have long since gone.

Wasnt that shot with your Fuji camera? I love the tonal range you have in these shots and the angle really makes it look like it was captured in the wilds.

It wasn`t far off your estimated score either.

Great work.
