I like both your entry and this shot too, it has a very secretive feel, a great capture without being felt at all, as if you are not there at all

Comment by eamurdock:
Beautiful!

Pros:

This is a great shot, and listing the pros is not difficult... The fence and high-contrast black and white give an almost unban/gritty feel that's unusual for a farm animal, but works well for goats. The expression is perfect; it really captures the essence of the little beasty. The late day light and long shadows add a lot of interest.

Cons:

There are some technical problems, including some blowouts on the chest and neck, and the fairly harsh shadow on the top of the nose. A slightly lower point of view would have hidden his little butt, too, which is currently growing out of his head! I can also see what I think is the photographer's shadow on the fence. All in all, though, I think these 'issues' are minor and are greatly overshadowed by the great character of the image.

Thanks!

nice colours, but there's no clear subject and half the plant is out of focus. Try to unclutter the image a bit.

good subject but this looks way too over-saturated to me.

cool idea, the background is too busy and takes away from your subject
