Interesting effect but I think I'd have prefered it without that warped look. As it is, the composition is good and those bursts of red dotted around really add something extra to this. I'm not exactly sure what kind of goat/deer this is but it sure is cute.
I really like how the texture/color in the fur blends in with the wall - great natural camouflage for the animal - well exposed shot, great focus - your composition is good, the red flowers a nice touch - getting the glint in the eye is often very difficult and adds so much to the shot.. love the light, the shadow adds interest, great angle .. can't think of anything to suggest to improve this photo... bumping the score
I came very close to entering a nearly identical bh lamb image on the rock faces of the Big Thompson Canyon. (but, chose a different species at the last moment) Nice capture of the action. The painterly effect is something of a distraction, but that's just me. The animal in its environment is very realistic to me, as I see this scene very often. I hope to see this as a ribbon winner.

WOw! THe lines of the animal against the lines (and colors) of the rock face are outstanding! Love the shadow. Excellent clarity (you must have one heck of a zoom).
This is fascinating! The swirls in the wall echo the swirls in the coat, and he seems to be walking on air. Very rich color and really like the bits of red.
